Escrow & Title
A Florida 'special warranty deed' (limited warranty deed) differs from a general warranty deed because the seller only warrants title against:
AClaims arising from any source at any time
BClaims arising during the seller's period of ownership only✓ Correct
CPhysical defects discovered within one year of closing
DClaims made within 5 years of the deed's recording
Explanation
A special warranty deed (also called a limited warranty deed) limits the seller's warranty to claims arising only during their own period of ownership. The seller makes no warranties against claims predating their ownership.
