Practical Information

Note: Some of this information was last updated in 1982

Actual possession of land. A covenant in a warranty deed (in U.S. law) that the seller is “seized” of the premises in fee simple (in U.S. law) and has good right to convey means that at the time of execution and delivery of the deed (in U.S. law), the seller is in lawful possession of the fee estate in the property and has lawful title (in U.S. law). If the seller does not have lawful title, the purchaser cannot get title; but under the covenant of seizin, the seller becomes personally liable to the purchaser for any expenses incurred up to the time of delivery of the deed. A covenant of seizin does not run with the land but is personal to the grantee (in U.S. law). A certification of title by a title company that the seller has a good and marketable title to the premises in fee, and that he or she has the right to convey, may furnish better protection to the purchaser than a covenant of seizin. See also covenants (in U.S. law) (of title).
