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.
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.
One of the main drawbacks of using a quitclaim deed is that you have little to no legal recourse if the grantor didn't actually have a legal interest in the property to give away. This is the risk you take with a quitclaim deed that doesn't offer any warranties.
There are many uses for a quitclaim deed, but one of the most common is to convey ownership between people who are related, like spouses, parents or other family members.
A quitclaim deed is considered a permanent transfer of ownership between the grantor and grantee, so there's no limit to the term of ownership.
A quitclaim deed transfers all the right, title, and interest the grantor holds in the real property at the time of the transfer.
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.
What Is the Strongest Type of Deed? For real estate buyers, a general warranty deed provides greater protection than any other type of deed. While it's the best deed for the grantee, it gives the grantor the most liability.
