<p class="MsoNormal"><font size="2" face="Verdana"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Verdana",sans-serif">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? <o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><font size="2" face="Verdana"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Verdana",sans-serif">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.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
