Definition: A bargain and sale deed conveys property for consideration but does not, merely by that name, provide the full title protections of a general warranty deed.
Example
A buyer receives a bargain and sale deed and checks whether it includes any express title covenants.
Keep the distinction clear
Terminology and implied covenants vary by jurisdiction. Read the deed's actual promises rather than assuming it has either full warranties or no warranties at all.
