GLOSSARY TERM GUIDEBuild the complete exam definition
Learn the rule, separate it from the nearest distractor, then apply it to a Georgia fact pattern.
What does Limited warranty deed mean?
A limited warranty deed conveys the grantor's interest with covenants limited to title claims arising by, through, or under that grantor, not defects created before the grantor acquired title.
How do you separate the nearest exam answer?
A limited warranty narrows the time and source of covered title claims. A general warranty deed provides broader chain-of-title covenants.
What changes or stays the same in Georgia?
Limited warranty deeds are common in Georgia commercial and institutional transactions. The actual language controls, so do not assume the label supplies broader protection.
A corporate owner warrants against encumbrances it created but does not promise to defend a defect caused by an earlier owner.
Limited does not mean the deed transfers only part of the estate. It describes the scope of title covenants.

GLOSSARY TERM GUIDERetrieve the rule under exam conditions
Answer before reading the explanation. Then explain why every distractor belongs to a different term.
A corporation sells an office building by limited warranty deed. After closing, two problems appear: an undisclosed easement the corporation granted a neighbor while it owned the building, and a boundary defect created by an owner decades earlier. Which do the deed's covenants cover?
- A
Both, since any warranty deed covers the whole chain
- B
Neither, since limited means no title covenants at all
- C
Only the older boundary defect from the earlier owner
- D
Only the easement the corporation itself granted
A limited warranty deed covers only title claims arising by, through, or under the grantor, so the corporation answers for the easement it created. The older boundary defect predates its ownership and falls outside the covenants. Limited describes the scope of the warranties, not an absence of them.
