With an Illinois Special Warranty Deed , a grantor does not provide the grantee with any warranties regardless of previous owners. Nevertheless, the deed contains covenants that the grantor actually obtained a title of ownership, and that the property was not encumbered while the grantor held that title. A special warranty deed shall be compiled in writing and signed by the grantor who must be of lawful age and of sound mind (765 ILCS 5/1). To be legitimate in this state, any deed shall be acknowledged in accordance with section 765 ILCS 5/20 of the Illinois Statutes and recorded in the recorder's office of the county where the real property that is being transferred is located (765 ILCS 5/28).
