A Michigan general warranty deed is utilized to convey real estate from one party to another. The deed "warrants" that the seller (grantor) has legal authority to sell the property and that the title to the property is free of defects. The grantor guarantees that there are no other undisclosed interests, and if there are, the grantor is liable.
