I’m not a title company attorney so take this with a grain of salt. But I would say the difference would be in the conveyance language, which defines the initial scope of warranties, and then can be modified by any additional language.</p>
<p class="x_MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;">
</p>
<p class="x_MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;">
If the document says “X conveys <i>and quitclaims</i> to Y” then the final paragraph language you cite is not needed and might actually be against the grantor’s interest. By
<a href="https://app.leg.wa.gov/RCW/default.aspx?cite=64.04.050">statute</a> a quitclaim deed comes with no warranties whatsoever, so saying that the warranties are limited to the title insurance implies that in fact there are some warranties.</p>
<p class="x_MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;">
</p>
<p class="x_MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;">
If the document says anything other than “conveys and quitclaims” such as “bargains, sells, and conveys” or even just “conveys” or “conveys and grants,” then the final paragraph language could be used, so it’s clear that the warranties are limited to the scope
of title insurance.</p>
<p class="x_MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;">
</p>
<p class="x_MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;">
Though honestly I haven’t seen that particular language before. The standard limited warranty that I use I got from Mike Winslow:</p>
