Escrow & TitleIntermediateColorado Exam

A 'special warranty deed' in Colorado differs from a general warranty deed because the grantor's warranty covers:

AAll defects ever, including before the grantor's ownership, in general
BOnly defects that arose during the grantor's period of ownershipCorrect
CNo warranties whatsoever
DOnly defects discovered within 10 years of recording

Why Only defects that arose during the grantor's period of ownership Is Correct

Answer B: Only defects that arose during the grantor's period of ownership

A special warranty deed warrants title only against defects arising during the grantor's period of ownership. Defects that arose before the grantor took title are not covered.

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.
