Bargain and Sale Deed (With Covenant Against Grantor's Acts)
NYS statutory forms also provide bargain-and-sale deeds with a covenant that the grantor has not done or suffered anything that encumbered the premises. NYC Bar guidance describes this as a limited-warranty style deed protecting against the grantor's own acts, not necessarily earlier defects.
