A bargain and sale deed implies that the grantor holds title and possession of the property but does not include warranties against encumbrances or title defects.

The chain of title is the sequential history of all transfers of ownership for a specific property, from the original source (typically a government patent or grant) to the present owner. An unbroken chain is essential for marketable title.
