FAQ
It's safer to use a warranty deed any time you are not entirely sure of your or someone else's ownership stake in any property. If you are transferring a property to your child or to a revocable trust agreement as part of an estate plan, then a quitclaim deed could do the trick.
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.
In North Carolina, a notary public must witness the grantor's signature on the deed. After the deed is notarized, it must be recorded with the Lenoir County Register of Deeds. This step officially transfers the title of the property from the grantor to the grantee.
Quitclaim deeds are popular for their simplicity and speed. They require less paperwork than other property transfer methods. Ideal for non-traditional handovers, like between family members or to clear title issues. However, they don't guarantee the seller has a clear title, an important consideration for buyers.
Quitclaim deeds, therefore, are commonly used to transfer property within a family, such as from a parent to an adult child, between siblings, or when a property owner gets married and wants to add their spouse to the title. Married couples who own a home together and later divorce also use quitclaim deeds.
Quitclaims, waivers, or releases by employees are generally looked upon with disfavor and are commonly frowned upon by the courts, since they are usually contrary to public policy, ineffective, and are meant to bar claims to an employee's legal rights.
A quitclaim bill of sale also presents some downsides. Because the bill of sale makes no guarantees at all, a buyer may find themselves owning property that is tied up with liens, or even property the seller didn't actually own at all.
Quitclaim deed transfers are ideal for: transferring property interest between family members, such as a parent to a child.
A North Carolina quitclaim deed form is a legal document transfers whatever ownership interest the signer holds with no guarantee of its validity or status. Like a non-warranty deed, a quitclaim deed provides no warranty of title and places the risk of title problems on the new owner.
