Maryland General Warranty Deed Form

A Maryland general warranty deed is used to convey property from a grantor (seller) to a grantee (buyer). This sort of deed provides the buyer with a guarantee from the seller that the seller is legally authorized to sell the property. Despite the guarantee, it is always prudent for the buyer to complete a title search.
