Which of the following is NOT a type of deed?

A power of attorney deed is not recognized as a type of deed; rather, a power of attorney is a legal document that grants someone the authority to act on another person’s behalf in legal or financial matters. While it can be used to execute deeds, it does not itself constitute a deed type.

On the other hand, general warranty deeds, quitclaim deeds, and bargain and sale deeds are all recognized types of deeds used in real estate transactions. A general warranty deed provides the highest level of protection to the grantee as it includes various guarantees about the title, while a quitclaim deed transfers whatever interest the grantor may have in the property without any warranties. A bargain and sale deed conveys the grantor's interest in the property but does not guarantee a clear title, typically used in sales or foreclosure situations.

Thus, understanding the distinction between these deed types and a power of attorney highlights why the power of attorney deed does not fit into the category of standard property deeds.
