Obtain a quitclaim deed form There are many legal documents that you can write out yourself, and have it signed and notarized in order for it to go into effect. With a quitclaim deed, however, it's most often a form that you fill out.
There are several scenarios where a quitclaim deed can be a convenient option: Marriage: allows you to easily add your spouse to your title. Divorce: if you get divorced and need the title transferred to you or your ex-spouse. Wills: If someone passes and they've granted the title to a friend or relative.
Use Form RP-5217-NYC for real property transfers within the five boroughs of New York City, and use Form RP-5217 for real property transfers in all other counties. Contact the local county clerk's office to confirm the specific local requirements.
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.
Also called a non-warranty deed, a quitclaim deed conveys whatever interest the grantor currently has in the property, if any. The grantor only “remises, releases, and quitclaims” their interest in the property to the grantee. There are no warranties or promises regarding the quality of the title.
It can be used to release a nominal real estate interest as it can effectively transfer whatever interest the grantor has, regardless of its value. However, a quitclaim deed cannot be used to warrant that a title is valid since it does not guarantee the grantor's ownership interest.

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.
Does a Quitclaim Deed Expire? A quitclaim deed does not expire because it permanently transfers ownership from one party to another. That being said, the new deed must be filed with the county clerk's office to record the official transfer. If the new deed is not recorded, it can create legal and financial challenges.
