In Colorado, which type of deed provides the greatest level of protection to the grantee by including covenants that the grantor warrants title against all claims, both before and during the grantor's ownership?

Correct Answer

B) General warranty deed

A general warranty deed (also called a warranty deed in Colorado) contains covenants in which the grantor warrants and defends title against all claims — including those arising before the grantor acquired the property. This is the broadest protection available to a grantee and is the standard deed used in most Colorado residential transactions. It includes the covenants of seisin, quiet enjoyment, further assurance, and warranty against all encumbrances.
