Idaho Bargain and Sale Deed with covenant clause
Clause: And the said Grantor does hereby covenant to and with the said Grantee, that the Grantor is the owner in fee simple of said premises.
Meaning: The grantor (seller) affirms they own the property outright ("fee simple"), the highest form of ownership, without time limits or reversion to a prior owner.
This implies the grantor has the legal authority to sell the property.
Idaho Code § 55-604:
Presumption of Fee Simple Ownership: "A fee simple title is presumed to be intended to pass by a grant of real property, unless it appears from the grant that a lesser estate was intended."
Clause: "That they are free from all encumbrances"
The grantor guarantees that there are no legal claims, liens, mortgages, easements, unpaid taxes, or any other restrictions (encumbrances) on the property that would negatively affect the grantee's ownership.
However, this assurance applies only to encumbrances that occurred during the grantor’s ownership of the property. It does not cover encumbrances that existed prior to the grantor acquiring the property unless explicitly stated.
Meaning in Practice
Limited Guarantee:
A bargain and sale deed typically offers a limited warranty compared to a warranty deed. In this case, the grantor guarantees only:
That they currently own the property in fee simple.
That they have not caused any encumbrances during their ownership.
The grantor does not guarantee the property is free from defects or encumbrances created by prior owners.
Grantor’s Liability: If an encumbrance or title issue arises that the grantor created or allowed during their ownership, the grantee could hold the grantor liable. However, issues that predate the grantor’s ownership would not be the grantor’s responsibility unless explicitly stated.
Common Use:
Often used in tax sales, foreclosures, or transactions where the buyer knows the grantor and understands the risks (such as between family members or in trustee sales).
The buyer may obtain title insurance to protect against potential issues with the title.
Recording: The deed must be properly recorded with the county recorder's office to provide public notice of the transaction
Important: Your property must be located in Bear Lake County to use these forms. Documents should be recorded at the office below.

I love deeds.com - hands down, the quickest way to record a warranty deed. The process and communication is so quick - the recording transaction too. Worth the extra $20 to me for my time! I didn't spend over an hour driving around, talking to someone via a kiosk to record the deed, didn't have to spend the energy of loading kids into the car to come with me, etc. The efficiency and timely process is worth the cost! Love having this available! The whole process via deeds.com took less than 5 minutes to upload a document and less than 3 minutes to pay the invoice shortly thereafter. The final recording was in my inbox in less than an hour. Thank you!
Thank you for your feedback. We really appreciate it. Have a great day!

All I needed to do was changed from my previously married name to my now maiden name and a Quit Claim Deed was all I needed. I loved that they offered a sample along with very detailed directions. Great site! Thank you!

Thank you for the prompt instructions on the download and installation. The only problem I had was trying to input data into the form once I renamed the form.and saved it. I was unable to change the size of the font and was very frustrated. In the end I finally had to redo the entire form through Word using your format.
Thank you!

The site was not easy to navigate. Maybe putting the different things offered at the heading instead of searching for it.

This was so easy to use. I appreciated the finished sample to guide me and the proper attachments necessary to process my Quit Claim Deed. I am gifting it to my nephew as I am too old to run farm and I live in a different state now. I tried other websites but their info was not up to date or accurate. Thank you so much. 71 Y/O Nana.
