Sandra is selling her Richmond, Virginia home to David. At closing, David's attorney notes that the deed Sandra signed contains covenants of seisin, quiet enjoyment, and warranty. Based on these covenants, which type of deed did Sandra execute?
Correct Answer
D) General warranty deed
A general warranty deed in Virginia contains the full set of title covenants including: (1) covenant of seisin — the grantor owns and has the right to convey the property; (2) covenant of quiet enjoyment — the grantee will not be disturbed by third-party claims; (3) covenant of warranty — the grantor will defend the title against all lawful claims; (4) covenant against encumbrances; and (5) covenant of further assurances. The presence of all these covenants identifies the deed as a general warranty deed.
