Fill out a Rhode Island Special Warranty Deed if you wish to convey your real property and offer the receiving party limited protection. Such type of deed implies that the grantor will warrant and defend the title against any claims made under their name (34-11-43; 34-11-44). According to the Rhode Island General Laws, any conveyance of real property is void unless it is executed in writing, signed by the grantor, acknowledged, delivered to the grantee, and recorded in the town (or city) where the real property is located (34-11-1). Additionally, your deed shall contain the name and the residential address (or postal address) of the grantee. Failing to include it will not affect the validity of the deed, however, the city clerk might refuse to record it (34-11-1.2).
