A Virginia deed that conveys only the interest the grantor currently holds, with absolutely no warranties of title, is best described as which type of deed?
Correct Answer
D) Quitclaim deed
A quitclaim deed transfers whatever interest the grantor has at the time of execution without making any warranties about the quality or extent of that title. Because there are no covenants, the grantee assumes all risk of title defects. In Virginia, quitclaim deeds are commonly used to resolve title disputes, remove clouds on title, or transfer property between related parties.
