Escrow & TitleIntermediateAlaska Exam

In Alaska, a 'grant deed' conveys:

ANo warranties of any kind
BAn implied warranty that the grantor has not previously conveyed the property to another and has done nothing to encumber the propertyCorrect
CA full warranty against all defects in title regardless of when they arose
DOnly the grantor's interest at the time of signing, however limited that may be, which is broadly consistent with standard practice statewide

Why An implied warranty that the grantor has not previously conveyed the property to another and has done nothing to encumber the property Is Correct

Answer B: An implied warranty that the grantor has not previously conveyed the property to another and has done nothing to encumber the property

A grant deed (used in some western states) contains implied covenants: (1) the grantor has not previously conveyed the property to someone else, and (2) the grantor has not encumbered the property beyond what is stated. It is less protective than a general warranty deed but more protective than a quitclaim deed.

Exam Tip: Escrow & Title

Escrow questions test the neutral third-party role and the sequence of closing events. Remember that the escrow agent acts as a dual agent for both buyer and seller and cannot advocate for either side.
