A special warranty deed warrants title only against defects that arose during which period?

Correct Answer

B) Only during the grantor's period of ownership

A special warranty deed limits the grantor's warranty to defects that arose only during the grantor's own period of ownership. It does not warrant against defects that existed before the grantor acquired title. This differs from a general warranty deed, which warrants title against all defects throughout the entire chain of title, regardless of when they arose.

Answer Options
A
Throughout the entire chain of title from all prior owners
B
Only during the grantor's period of ownership
C
No period β€” it provides no warranty whatsoever
D
Only after the deed is delivered to the grantee
