FAQ

A quitclaim deed is a legal document that transfers property from one person (the grantor) to another (the grantee). It does not guarantee the grantor's ownership rights. Unlike warranty deeds, it doesn't promise anything about the property's title or the grantor's rights.

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.

Essentially a quitclaim deed provides the same protections as a warranty deed, except it limits how far back in time the grantor is liable for any problems resulting from the title.

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.

Warranty Deeds offer the highest level of protection by guaranteeing the quality of the title even before the grantor took ownership. While Quitclaim Deeds offer protection for the period that the grantor owned the property being sold. And lastly, Release Deeds offer absolutely no assurances to the buyer at all.

A warranty deed makes a promise to the buyer that the seller has good title to the property. A quitclaim deed, on the other hand, makes no promises. A quitclaim deed just says; whatever interest I have in this property, I give to you.
