General warranty covenants are split by timing: present covenants, which are breached at the moment of conveyance, and future covenants, which come into play if a claim arises later. The covenants quiet enjoyment, no superior claim, defense of title, and further assurances all guarantee the grantee against later challenges and promise steps to protect or perfect title after transfer. They’re designed to safeguard possession and title against future claims and to ensure the grantor will defend or remedy title if problems surface post-closing. Because of this timing and purpose, these covenants are categorized as future covenants in a general warranty deed. So the matching category for those covenants is General Warranty - Future Covenants (Prop). (The present covenants would be things like seisin, right to convey, and against encumbrances, which deal with title at the moment of transfer.)
