Question & Answer
Review the question and all answer choices
Quitclaim deed
Quitclaim deed is incorrect because it offers no warranties of title at all, simply transferring whatever interest the grantor may have. This makes it unsuitable for most residential transactions where buyers expect some protection against title issues.
General warranty deed
General warranty deed is incorrect because while it provides the most protection (warranting against all title defects throughout history), Arizona residential transactions typically use special warranty deeds instead due to their more limited warranty coverage.
Special warranty deed
Bargain and sale deed
Bargain and sale deed is incorrect because it's not commonly used in Arizona residential transactions. This deed type typically transfers interest without warranties, similar to a quitclaim deed but often with implied acknowledgment that the grantor actually owned the property.
Why is this correct?
Special warranty deed is correct because Arizona residential transactions commonly use this deed type. It provides limited warranty coverage, only guaranteeing against title defects that occurred during the grantor's ownership period, which balances buyer protection with practicality for standard residential transactions.
