Patricia conveyed her Harford County property to her nephew Robert using a deed that contained no warranty covenants but recited that she was conveying 'all her right, title, and interest' in the property. A title examiner reviewing the deed would most likely classify it as which type of deed?

Correct Answer

A) Quitclaim deed

A deed that conveys 'all the grantor's right, title, and interest' with no warranty covenants is a quitclaim deed. The phrase 'all her right, title, and interest' is the classic language of a quitclaim deed, which transfers whatever interest the grantor holds — no more and no less — without any warranty that the title is good or that the grantor actually has any interest to convey. Under Maryland Real Property Article §§ 2-101 et seq., this type of deed is commonly used for intra-family transfers and releases of interest.

Tenancy by the entirety is a form of co-ownership available only to married couples that includes the right of survivorship and protection from individual creditors. Neither spouse can unilaterally sell or encumber the property.

Tenancy in common is a form of co-ownership in which two or more persons hold separate, undivided interests in property without the right of survivorship. Each owner can hold unequal shares and can independently transfer their interest.
