FAQ
The key distinctions include: Interest transferred – A quitclaim deed conveys only the grantor's current ownership share, which may be incomplete. A warranty deed transfers the property in its entirety. Warranties and protection – Quitclaim deeds provide zero warranties or protection for the grantee.
Quitclaim Deeds: Quitclaim Deeds are used to transfer property ownership without any warranties regarding the title. This means the grantor isn't guaranteeing anything, even that they own the property, or that the title is clear.
It is common for property sales to use a quitclaim deed and protect the buyer through contract law. However, another way to handle this is with a warranty deed.
Common uses – Typically, quitclaim deeds are used for lower-risk transfers between related parties. In contrast, warranty deeds are used for real estate sales and high-value transactions involving unrelated grantees.
General warranty deeds: A general warranty deed provides the most protection to the buyer but gives the grantor the highest degree of liability. The grantor of a general warranty deed fully warrants good, clear title to the property.
Quitclaim Deed The grantor is not promising anything other than that they are giving up their own rights, if any. There are no implied warranties in connection with a quitclaim deed. This type of deed guarantees nothing and there is no expressed or implied warranty that grantor owns the property or any interest in it.
A quitclaim deed is only valid if both parties willingly performed the property transfer. If there is evidence that the grantor was coerced into filing the quitclaim against their will, this is grounds to revoke it.
In summary, a quitclaim deed may not be suitable in situations where there is uncertainty about ownership, when a buyer wants protection against potential title issues, when obtaining a mortgage or refinancing, or in certain real estate transactions that require more guarantees and protections.
Moreover, a quitclaim deed does not convey any after-acquired title.
