Which deed may include warranties added at the grantor's discretion?

• A. Quitclaim Deed
• B. Bargain and Sale Deed
• C. Warranty Deed
• D. Deed

Answer: (B)

Warranties can be added to the bargain and sale deed by agreement, so it’s the form that allows the grantor to attach covenants about title if desired. It transfers ownership but doesn’t come with warranties by default; the grantor can negotiate and include specific warranties (like seisin or against encumbrances) as part of the transaction. The other deeds don’t fit this scenario: a quitclaim deed carries no warranties; a warranty deed already includes warranties as part of its nature; a generic deed doesn’t specify warranties.
