Escrow & TitleIntermediateColorado Exam

In Colorado, a 'special warranty deed' differs from a general warranty deed in that it:

AProvides warranty only for claims arising during the grantor's period of ownershipCorrect
BProvides warranty against all title defects throughout history, under this approach
CProvides no warranty at all
DIs only used for commercial property transfers

Why Provides warranty only for claims arising during the grantor's period of ownership Is Correct

Answer A: Provides warranty only for claims arising during the grantor's period of ownership

A special warranty deed only warrants title against defects arising during the grantor's period of ownership, not against defects that arose before the grantor took title. It is less protective than a general warranty 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.
