Bargain and sale deed

Bargain and sale deed

A bargain and sale deed is in United States real property law, a deed "conveying real property without covenants". [Black's Law Dictionary, p. 46 (2001 edition).]

This is a deed "for which the grantor implies to have or have had an interest in the property but offers no warranties of title to the grantee. This type of deed is typically used in many states to transfer title." [ [http://www.answers.com/topic/bargain-and-sale-deed Answers.com] ]

Under common law, this type of deed technically created a use (law) in the buyer who then gets title. [ [http://research.lawyers.com/glossary/bargain-and-sale-deed.html Lawyser.com web site] ] Under the Statute of uses, modern real property law disregards this subtle distinction. Fact|date=August 2007

A "bargain and sale deed" is especially used by local governments, fiduciaries such as executors, and in foreclosure sales by sheriffs and referees. Fact|date=August 2007 The fact that it comes without any warranties from the government means that the new owner may not have good title. Fact|date=August 2007 However, if the city did not have good title, then the new landowner may seek a remedy against the local government. [See, "e.g.", [http://caselaw.lp.findlaw.com/scripts/getcase.pl?court=or&vol=A124361&invol=1 Findlaw.com] , citing "Winters v. County of Clatsop" (2005).]

Some states require a specific form to be used. [ [http://apps.leg.wa.gov/RCW/default.aspx?cite=64.04.040 Washington state official web site] ] Some states also allow a grantor (or seller) to add warranties. [ [http://alicebroughton.com/Glossary/BARGAIN_AND_SALE_DEED.html Alice Broughton web site] ] In such case, it may be called a "bargain and sale with covenants deed".
