A West Virginia Warranty Deed is a legally enforceable contract that outlines the details of the property transfer. Individuals and corporations alike may use this agreement if the seller certifies the property title is not burdened with defects, liens, and restrictions so that the buyer's interests are protected. Chapters 36 and 40 of the West Virginia Statutes require the parties to include their names and briefly describe the property in question, sign the papers before a notary public (if there is more than one owner, all co-owners must acknowledge the intention to sell), and file a copy of the agreement with the county clerk for registration.
