Definition: Warranty forever is a deed covenant promising to defend the grantee's title against lawful superior claims within the warranty's scope.
Example
A claimant proves an older ownership interest, triggering the grantor's title-warranty obligations under the deed.
Keep the distinction clear
This is a promise about title, not a warranty that the roof or appliances will last forever. The deed's language and lawful claim determine the obligation.
