Michigan Quitclaim Deed from Individual to Corporation
What this document covers
The Quitclaim Deed from Individual to Corporation is a legal document used to transfer property ownership from an individual (the grantor) to a corporation (the grantee). Unlike other types of deeds, a quitclaim deed provides no guarantees about the title of the property, meaning the grantor is not liable for any claims against it. This form is specifically designed for instances where an individual wants to relinquish their rights to a property without making any warranties to the corporation receiving the deed.
