382.040 Special warranty -- Words that constitute.

A covenant by a grantor, "that he will warrant specially the property thereby conveyed,"

or words of like import, or the words "with special warranty," in any deed, have the same

effect as if the grantor had covenanted that he, his heirs and personal representatives,

would forever warrant and defend the property unto the grantee, his heirs, personal

representatives and assigns, against the claims and demands of the grantor and all persons

claiming by, through, or under him.
