A Kansas statutory warranty deed is used to transfer property with a warranty or guarantee from a seller to a buyer. The seller uses the warranty deed to guarantee that there are no other interests in the property being sold and that he or she has the legal authority to transfer the property. If that is not the case, the seller is obligated to the buyer to rectify the situation. However, it still makes sense for the buyer to complete a thorough title search ensuring there aren’t any hidden claims to the property.
Laws – Chapter 58, Article 22. Conveyances of Land
