Which covenants cover present and future covenants as part of general warranty?

• A. General Warranty - Present Covenants (Prop)
• B. Warranties (Prop)
• C. Deeds (Prop)
• D. General Warranty - Future Covenants (Prop)

Answer: (D)

In a general warranty deed, the grantor makes both present covenants and future covenants. Present covenants protect the grantee against issues arising at the time of grant (such as seisin, the right to convey, and no encumbrances), while future covenants protect against problems that may arise later (such as warranty of title, further assurances, and quiet enjoyment). The option that identifies covenants "within General Warranty" and specifically references future covenants aligns with the idea that the general warranty includes these future protections as part of its promises. The other choices either refer to broader concepts or only to one subset, not the full set of covenants contained in a general warranty deed.
