North Dakota Quitclaim Deed from Individual to Individual
Overview of this form

FAQ
If you own your own home, you are free to gift or sell an interest in the real property to someone else.You'll need to transfer an interest by writing up another deed with the person's name on it. In California, you can use either a grant deed, a quitclaim deed or an interspousal deed, depending on your circumstances.
Once you sign a quitclaim deed and it has been filed and recorded with the County Clerks Office, the title has been officially transferred and cannot be easily reversed. In order to reverse this type of transfer, it would require your spouse to cooperate and assist in adding your name back to the title.
Quitclaim deeds are most often used to transfer property between family members. Examples include when an owner gets married and wants to add a spouse's name to the title or deed, or when the owners get divorced and one spouse's name is removed from the title or deed.
A person who signs a quitclaim deed to transfer property they do not own results in no title at all being transferred since there is no actual ownership interest. The quitclaim deed only transfers the type of title you own.
The drawback, quite simply, is that quitclaim deeds offer the grantee/recipient no protection or guarantees whatsoever about the property or their ownership of it. Maybe the grantor did not own the property at all, or maybe they only had partial ownership.
The only way to forcibly change the ownership status is through a legal action and the resultant court order. However, if an owner chooses to be removed from the deed, it is simply a matter of preparing a new deed transferring that owner's interest in the property.

Fill out the quit claim deed form, which can be obtained online, or write your own using the form as a guide. The person giving up the interest in the property is the grantor, and the person receiving the interest is the grantee.
