BThe grantor must intend to transfer title now, with the grantee accepting the deedCorrect
CThe deed must be recorded within 30 days
DThe deed must be witnessed by a notary at the time of transfer, under this approach

Why The grantor must intend to transfer title now, with the grantee accepting the deed Is Correct

Answer B: The grantor must intend to transfer title now, with the grantee accepting the deed

For a deed to be effective in Colorado, there must be delivery (the grantor's present intent to transfer title and relinquish control of the deed) and acceptance by the grantee. A deed held by the grantor without intent to transfer now has not been delivered.

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.
