In a special warranty deed, a grantor warrants against only those defects in the title or those encumbrances that arose after he acquired the property. If the property conveyed is mortgaged or subject to some other encumbrance such as an easement or a long-term lease, it is a common practice to give a special warranty deed that contains a provision excepting those specific encumbrances from the warranty.
