Escrow & Title

In Oregon, a 'statutory warranty deed' provides which protection to the grantee?

ANo warranties
BWarranties of title by the grantor against claims arising during their ownership (similar to a special warranty deed)✓ Correct
CFull warranties against all title defects in history
DA warranty that the property is free of all environmental issues

Explanation

Oregon's statutory warranty deed (ORS 93.850) provides covenants of warranty only for claims arising from or through the grantor — similar to a special warranty deed. It does not warrant against claims predating the grantor's ownership. This is distinguishable from a general warranty deed, which warrants against all claims regardless of origin.
