A Wisconsin special warranty deed transfers real property and guarantees clean title during the term of the grantor’s ownership only, not for any previous time period. The grantee will be recommended to perform a title search, especially for the period prior to the grantor’s ownership.
Once signed by the grantor (seller) and grantee (buyer) in front of a notary public, it can be filed in the Register of Deeds.
