Special Warranty Deed

IMPORTANT LEGAL NOTICE
This Special Warranty Deed provides LIMITED warranty protection. It does not use AS 34.15.030's statutory words "conveys and warrants," which create the full covenants stated there. Because AS 34.15.080 implies no covenant, the limited covenant must be written expressly. Obtain title insurance.
