Alabama Quitclaim Deed from Individual to Two Individuals in Joint Tenancy
Overview of this form
The Quitclaim Deed from Individual to Two Individuals in Joint Tenancy is a legal document that allows a property owner (the Grantor) to transfer their interest in real estate to two other individuals (the Grantees) who hold the property as joint tenants. This type of quitclaim deed is unique because it establishes rights of survivorship, meaning if one Grantee passes away, their share of the property automatically transfers to the surviving Grantee. This form ensures that all involved parties understand the nature of the conveyance, especially regarding any mineral rights that may be reserved by the Grantor.
