A warranty deed provides the most protection against defects of title.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

A warranty deed is a legal document that guarantees that the seller (grantor) has the right to sell a property, and that there are no outstanding encumbrances or claims against the property. This provides the buyer (grantee) with the most protection against defects of title, as the grantor is legally bound to defend the title against any third-party claims or lawsuits. In contrast, a quitclaim deed only transfers whatever interest the grantor may have in the property, and offers no guarantees or protections against defects of title.
