<p>I think you raise a valid argument about a warranty claim arising
while the case is open. I'm not seeing an injury post-deed
recording being a concern. Is there some tort liability that
reaches prior owners of property? And if there is, I'm not seeing
that a QCD would cut that off because the tort claim wouldn't be
based on a deed warranty.</p>
<p>There may be another underlying issue. Are estate PR's
authorized to grant warranties? I'm pretty sure bankruptcy
trustees think they don't have that authority (an issue I've never
looked into).<br>

know the statute barring claims after two years

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>

offer of a limited warranty for a PR deed is slightly
