Warranty Deeds are used to convey title to real property and provide promises or guarantees from the seller that he or she is the owner of the property, has a right to convey the property, and that the property is free and clear of liens and other types of encumbrances. This warranty deed is used when the transfer is to more than one person in joint tenancy. “Joint Tenancy" is ownership of real property between two or more parties named in one conveyance as joint tenants. Upon death of a joint tenant, his or her interest passes to the surviving joint tenant(s) by right of survivorship.
