A quitclaim deed is a legal document that transfers a person's interest in a property to another party. However, it does so without specifying the nature of the person's ownership or rights in the property and provides no guarantees regarding the validity of those rights.
Therefore, a quitclaim deed can be useful in situations where a grantor is seeking to relinquish any interest they may have in a property, in order to clear the properties title.
The two most common types of deeds are quitclaim deeds and warranty deeds. While both types transfer property rights, only the warranty deed includes additional promises about the land, namely that the grantor (owner) will be responsible for legal costs if anyone sues the grantee (buyer) claiming to have rights to it.
This is because a quitclaim deed offers the lowest level of protection. When writing a quitclaim deed, the grantor isn't offering any protection or warranty to the grantee.
While the deed without warranty sells and conveys the property to the buyer, it's only slightly better than a quitclaim deed. It conveys title to the buyer, but there's no warranty against any defects in the title.
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.
