A special warranty deed guarantees that the grantor has not caused any title defects during their period of ownership, but does not warrant against defects that existed before the grantor acquired the property.

Title insurance is a policy that protects the insured party against financial loss from defects in title that were not discovered during the title search. Unlike other insurance, it covers past events rather than future risks.

A title search is an examination of public records to determine the history of ownership, liens, encumbrances, and other interests affecting a property. It verifies that the seller has the legal right to transfer the property.
