Which types of deed provides the grantee with the least protection?

General warranty deeds provide the highest level of protection to the grantee. They assure that the grantor holds clear title to the property and guarantees against any claims arising from the property's history, regardless of when they occurred. This extensive coverage allows the grantee to seek recourse if any title issues are discovered.

Bargain and sale deeds imply that the grantor has the right to convey the property but do not provide full warranties against title defects. While they offer more protection than a quitclaim deed, they still fall short of the comprehensive guarantees provided by a general warranty deed, thus offering moderate protection.

Special warranty deeds provide limited protection, ensuring the grantor has not encumbered the property during their ownership. However, they do not protect the grantee from claims arising from prior ownership, making them more secure than quitclaim deeds but not as comprehensive as general warranty deeds.
