Subject: Re: [WSBARP] Limited Warranty Deed vs Quit Claim

I often laughed at the arguments between PRs as Grantors and purchasers about warranties. Over and over the PR would sign a standard form P&SA that agreed to provide a SWD, then the lawyer would invest the Estate's assets in hundreds of dollars of attorney's fees to force a quitclaim PR deed instead. The fees seemed wasteful considering the bar to claims against an estate. What good are the warranties after the estate is closed?

Carl's offer of a limited warranty for a PR deed is slightly better than the usual zero warranty. And, no different than a full warranty deed after the estate is closed.
