How does a Special Warranty Deed differ from a General Warranty Deed?

  1. It offers no protection

  2. It only applies to the time the grantor owned the property

  3. It guarantees clear title forever

  4. It cannot be transferred

The correct answer is: It only applies to the time the grantor owned the property

A Special Warranty Deed differs from a General Warranty Deed because it only applies to the time the grantor owned the property, rather than guaranteeing clear title forever like a General Warranty Deed. Option A is incorrect because a Special Warranty Deed does offer some protection, just not as much as a General Warranty Deed. Option C is incorrect because, as mentioned, a General Warranty Deed guarantees clear title forever, while a Special Warranty Deed only guarantees it for the time the grantor owned the property. Option D is incorrect because both Special Warranty Deeds and General Warranty Deeds can be transferred.
