Escrow & Title
A Hawaii property is conveyed via a 'special warranty deed.' The grantor warrants title against:
AA. All defects throughout history of the property
BB. Only defects arising from the grantor's period of ownership✓ Correct
CC. No defects whatsoever
DD. Defects caused by government action only
Explanation
A special warranty deed limits the grantor's warranty to defects arising during their own period of ownership, offering less protection than a general warranty deed.
