Are all deeds created equal? It depends. There are basically 3 different types conveyance documents used in Hawaii. Here’s the basics.
A regular warranty deed contains many covenants from the grantor. Among them, there’s a covenant that the owner really owns the property, that the property is being conveyed without undisclosed encumbrances but most importantly, that the grantor will “warrant and defend” title to the property forever. The language of the covenants
implies that the grantor has had some level of personal involvement or relationship with the property. A
special or limited warranty deed, on the other hand, only warrants that the owner has the right to
convey the property and nothing has
been done during their ownership
to cause a defect in the title. Grantors such as bankruptcy trustees, personal representatives, lenders, or successor trustees take title only for the legal purposes. They routinely convey by way of a limited warranty deed. The increased use of
IN-DEED
a limited (special) warranty deed may be a sign
of the times. In times past, these were mostly used by C. Brewer or other large land owners.
It is not uncommon, even today, to see this type conveyance used by developers. In the past, the use of a special warranty deed for residential
real estate was the exception, not the rule. Foreclosures changed this in certain instances. Buyers (grantees) of foreclosed properties sometimes become concerned when they learn they are not getting a general warranty deed.
The perception is that they are exposed to greater risk. With any foreclosure, all third party claims should have been “wiped clean”. Recent concerns with (especially) non-judicial foreclosures make this less certain. When property is conveyed with this type deed, I recommend that buyers pay a
bit extra for an upgraded/enhanced title policy. Fortunately, in Hawaii, non-judicial foreclosures have all but disappeared. Quit (not quick) claim deeds are a highly misunderstood and often misused conveyance. With a quit claim, the grantor conveys anything they own, even if it is
nothing. These are commonly used to correct title defects or between siblings who wish to convey their interest to a brother or sister. A relationship between parties is probably safest. Be sure to arrange title insurance early on if a quit claim was the last conveyance. As with a deed-in-lieu, the deed may transfer title but the title insurer won’t issue an insurance policy unless they are given positive confirmation that all parties were fully informed with no undue pressure. And one last caution about tax deeds. It’s almost impossible
to get title insurance once when you try to sell
a tax sale property. Be sure to research this
issue carefully (or call me). Bottom line, hope
for a warranty deed, accept a special warranty deed and be cautious with a quit claim. Knowing when to expect different types of deeds can be as important as what’s actually in the deed.
