In Alaska, which type of deed provides the greatest protection to the grantee, offering warranties against all claims, both those that arose during the grantor's ownership and those that arose before?

Answer:

Warranty Deed

Explanation

• Warranty Deed (Correct): A warranty deed provides the greatest protection to the grantee because it warrants against all claims, both those that arose during the grantor's ownership and those that arose before.

• Quitclaim Deed (Incorrect): A quitclaim deed offers the least protection as it only conveys whatever interest the grantor has, without any warranties or guarantees.

• Special Warranty Deed (Incorrect): A special warranty deed only warrants against defects or claims that arose during the grantor's period of ownership, not before.

• Bargain and Sale Deed (Incorrect): A bargain and sale deed implies that the grantor holds title but does not provide any warranties against encumbrances.
