After a Virginia non-judicial foreclosure sale conducted by the trustee under a deed of trust, the trustee conveys the foreclosed property to the winning bidder. What type of deed does the trustee typically use to complete this conveyance?

Correct Answer

D) Trustee's deed, conveying the property without personal warranty by the trustee

In Virginia's non-judicial foreclosure process, the trustee named in the deed of trust conducts the foreclosure sale and conveys the property to the successful bidder using a trustee's deed. The trustee acts in a representative capacity and typically does not provide personal warranties of title. The trustee's deed recites the authority under which the sale was conducted (the power of sale clause in the deed of trust) and conveys the foreclosed property to the purchaser.

Answer Options
A
Special warranty deed, warranting title for the period the lender held the note
B
General warranty deed, because the lender guarantees clear title
C
Quitclaim deed, because the borrower's interest was extinguished at foreclosure
D
Trustee's deed, conveying the property without personal warranty by the trustee
