AThe physical boundary markers of a property
BThe sequence of historical ownership transfers from the earliest recorded owner to the current ownerCorrect
CThe legal description of the property in the county records, as most licensees would generally expect
DThe list of all easements and restrictions on the property

Why The sequence of historical ownership transfers from the earliest recorded owner to the current owner Is Correct

Answer B: The sequence of historical ownership transfers from the earliest recorded owner to the current owner

The chain of title is the sequential record of all ownership transfers (conveyances) for a specific parcel of property from the earliest recorded claim to the present. Breaks or defects in the chain can make title unmarketable.

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.
