Explanation

A grant deed provides two implied covenants: (1) the grantor has not previously conveyed the property to anyone else, and (2) the property is free from encumbrances created by the grantor (not third parties). Grant deeds are commonly used in California and occasionally in Nevada. In Nevada, general warranty deeds (which provide broader covenants) and special warranty deeds are also used, depending on the transaction and title insurance available.
