An exception in a deed is a provision that excludes or reserves certain rights, interests, or properties from the conveyance of real estate. It identifies specific items or conditions that are not transferred to the grantee as part of the property transaction. Exceptions are typically used to clarify limitations or encumbrances on the property title, such as easements, covenants, or restrictions, that will remain in place after the transfer of ownership. By specifying exceptions in the deed, the grantor can protect certain interests or rights while still conveying the property to the grantee.
n. a notation in a deed of title to real property which states that certain interests, such as easements, mineral rights or a life estate, are not included in the transfer (conveyance) of title.
