Long story short: If you are the buyer, then the warranty deed is more favorable to you because it provides a more solid legal protection. If you're the seller, the quitclaim deed is more favorable to you.
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. Grantee risks – With a quitclaim deed, all risks remain with the grantee.
Recording: The notarized quitclaim deed is submitted to the County Recorder's office in the county where the property is located. This step ensures the transfer is part of the public record.
If you haven't funded your real property into your Revocable Living Trust, you can do so by signing (before a notary public) a Quitclaim Deed and subsequently recording it locally with the San Diego Recorder's Office.
A warranty deed offers the strongest protection. It protects the party receiving the property title in case there turns out to be any issues with the title.
Because of the lack of title guarantees, quitclaim deeds are most often used to transfer property between two parties who know and trust each other, such as family members.
The two most common types of deeds in California are grant deeds and quitclaim deeds (sometimes inadvertently called a quick claim or quickclaim deed). Both deeds convey ownership; however, there are some significant differences between the two.
