Quitclaim Husband Individual

A quitclaim deed doesn't always need to be signed before the divorce is final. Your divorce judgment will detail the terms of your property settlement agreement, and the requirement for transferring title will likely be incorporated into this agreement.

To use a Quitclaim Deed to add someone to a property deed or title, you would need to create a Quitclaim Deed and list all of the current owners in the grantor section. In the grantee section, you would list all of the current owners as well as the person you would like to add.

The grantor must sign the deed according to the law in every state and county. The grantor's signature finalizes the transfer of ownership, and quitclaim deeds aren't considered valid unless the grantor signs them. A certified notary public must typically be present as the grantor signs.

A Michigan quitclaim deed form provides no warranty of title. That means that the new owner has no legal right to sue the prior owner if there is a problem with the title to the property. The new owner simply takes whatever title that the prior owner has.

In Michigan, a quit claim deed must be signed by a witness, in addition to the notary, to make it legal.After all required signatures are collected and notarized, file the document with your local register of deeds to complete the transaction.

Quitclaim deeds are most often used to transfer property between family members.Examples include when an owner gets married and wants to add a spouse's name to the title or deed, or when the owners divorce and one spouse's name is removed from the title or deed.
