Property Ownership

In Minnesota, a 'warranty of title' in a general warranty deed protects the grantee from:

APhysical defects in the property
BAdverse claims to title by anyone claiming through the entire chain of title✓ Correct
COnly defects arising during the grantor's ownership
DTitle defects that arise after the deed is recorded

Explanation

A general warranty deed in Minnesota contains covenants in which the grantor warrants the title against claims by anyone claiming through the entire chain of title, not just the grantor's period of ownership. This is the most comprehensive title warranty and provides maximum protection to the grantee against historical title defects.
