Escrow & Title
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 property✓ Correct
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
Explanation
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.
