</div>

<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">All, <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I have a question that I need some help with regarding how to obtain a Statutory Warranty Deed when a parcel of real property has been transferred by a Quit Claim Deed.
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Facts: <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Able buys property and receives it by way of a statutory warranty deed.
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Able marries Betty and quit claims the property from himself individually to his marital community.
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Able and Betty later quit claim the property into an LLC in which they are the only members.
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Over time, ownership in the LLC is transferred to Carl and Dot, a married couple, who become the only members.
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">LLC quit claims the property Carl and Dot individually. <o:p>
</o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Carl and Dot now want to take advantage of an energy savings program offered by the city where the property is situated but the city is requiring that they show that they received the property under a Statutory Warranty Deed.
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">What is the easiest way to rectify this? Do we need to resort to a Quite Title Action or is it sufficient to draft a Warranty Deed from Able to Carl which should essentially transfer any remaining interest that Able would theoretically
still hold in the property?<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Thank you for all the positive and helpful advice, <o:p></o:p></p>
