Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

A deed that warrants only that the grantor held good title during his ownership of the property is a special warranty deed. This type of deed contains limited warranties and provides less protection to the grantee than a warranty deed. A grant deed is a type of deed commonly used in California that warrants that the grantor has not conveyed the property to anyone else and that the estate is free from encumbrances. A quitclaim deed conveys whatever interest the grantor may have in the property, without providing any warranties or guarantees. A warranty deed, on the other hand, contains full warranties and provides the most protection to the grantee.
