A Colorado general warranty deed is a deed that passes real estate from a grantor to a grantee (a seller to a buyer) in Colorado. This allows the grantor to provide a warranty that he or she has a legal right to the property and a legal right to convey the property and that there are no others who can claim a right to the property. It is required in this document that the words “warrant(s) the title” be stated to convey the property in fee simple.
