Which covenant promises to defend the title?

The Covenant of Warranty Forever is the promise in a deed that guarantees the grantor will defend the title against any claims that may arise during the ownership of the property. This means that if any issues or disputes regarding the title occur, the grantor is obligated to protect the grantee's ownership rights and resolve those issues, ensuring that the grantee can enjoy the property without the fear of losing it due to title problems.

This covenant provides a strong legal protection for the buyer, assuring them that the seller stands behind the title being conveyed. It ultimately helps the buyer feel secure in their investment, knowing that they can rely on the seller for support should any challenges to the title arise.

The other covenants serve different purposes: the Covenant of Quiet Enjoyment guarantees that the owner will not be disturbed in their use of the property, the Covenant of Seisin confirms that the grantor owns the property and has the right to transfer it, and the Covenant against Encumbrances assures that there are no undisclosed liens or encumbrances on the property. Each of these serves to enhance the security of the title from different angles, but the Covenant of Warranty Forever specifically focuses on defending the title itself against claims.
