[WSBARP] Limited Warranty Deed vs Quit Claim

[michael westseattleattorney.com]

Title Co Attys:
For about 30 years I had used the standard QCD with my family law practice. After reading the prior discussion on this list including comments by some whom worked for Title Cos, I started using the LWD vs QCD. I now have an attorney who says he has 40 years of experience, reject it see below:


I do not know where they came by this Deed.  It seems it is from some other jurisdiction, or perhaps an on-line form.  A Quit Claim Deed is defined by statute, and under the statute the final paragraph is superfluous.


 Final Paragraph: "The Grantor, for itself and for its successors in interest, hereby expressly limits the covenants of the Deed to the actual coverage provided under any Grantor’s title insurance policy issued when purchasing the real property, and excludes all other covenants arising or to arise by statutory or other implication."

I informed him that his client was not prejudiced by my client using this form but he was not persuaded.

Would appreciate some input on how to respond to him.

Thanks
Mike
