Which deed carries no warranties against liens but implies the right to convey title?

1. General Warranty Deed

2. Special Warranty Deed

3. Quitclaim Deed

4. Bargain and Sale Deed

The correct answer is: Bargain and Sale Deed

A General Warranty Deed provides the most protection for the buyer as it guarantees that the title is free from any defects or encumbrances, including liens. A Special Warranty Deed also offers some protection against liens, but it only covers the time period when the seller owned the property, not before. A Quitclaim Deed offers no protection against liens as it simply transfers whatever interest the seller may have in the property. A Bargain and Sale Deed, while it implies the right to convey title, does not provide any warranties against liens. Rather, it typically only guarantees that the seller has the right to sell the property but does not guarantee the condition of the title. Therefore, a Bargain and Sale Deed carries no warranties against liens but still allows for the conveyance of title.
