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 Gem County to use these forms. Documents should be recorded at the office below.

The process for obtaining document itself was easy, and the included guide and example are great! I do have an issue with the format itself, though. The form has pre-defined text boxes, which cannot be altered without partially rebuilding the entire document. For the 'property description' field on the Mineral Deed form, the text box is not large enough for the rather lengthy legal description entered on my original plat. Fortunately, I have a copy of Adobe Pro, so I have been able to re-build the doc to accommodate this short-coming.
Thank you for taking the time to provide feedback on our legal form. We're pleased to hear that you found the process for obtaining the document and the included guide beneficial.
We understand and appreciate your concern regarding the formatting and size limitations of certain fields, especially the 'property description' field. Our forms are designed to adhere to specific formatting requirements that are often mandated for legal compliance. Making direct alterations to the document can result in them becoming non-conforming, which is why we advise customers to use an exhibit page when their legal description is extensive or does not fit.

Everything went well except that any information that I typed in on the computer download moves upward so that the letters or numbers are somewhat elevated above the line that should be even with the words on the form. I think it will be acceptable to the county recorder, but I don't especially like to submit things that appear uneven. I asked for help but just received a robotic reply that said to take steps that I already had done. So unless you know a way to correct this I likely won't use your forms again.
Thank you!
