What is this form?
The Quitclaim Deed from Individual to Individual is a legal document that facilitates the transfer of property ownership between individuals.

Ideal situations for using a quitclaim deed include gifting property to a family member, settling divorce settlements, or transferring property to a friend. Additionally, it can be used in instances where the grantor is unsure of the titleâs status and is comfortable transferring their interest with no warranties.
