Escrow & TitleIntermediateColorado Exam

In Colorado, a 'special warranty deed' warranties title against:

AA. All defects in title from any source, including prior owners, in most cases
BB. Only defects that arose during the current grantor's period of ownershipCorrect
CC. No title defects whatsoever
DD. Only defects created by the buyer

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

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

A special warranty deed (also called a limited warranty deed) warrants title only against defects that arose during the current grantor's ownership — not against claims arising from prior owners. This is commonly used by developers, lenders in foreclosure, and commercial sellers.

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.
