New York Quitclaim Deed from Individual to Two Individuals in Joint Tenancy
What this document covers
The Quitclaim Deed from Individual to Two Individuals in Joint Tenancy is a legal document that allows an individual, referred to as the Grantor, to transfer property ownership to two individuals, known as Grantees, who will hold the property as joint tenants. This type of deed is often used when property is being transferred without a guarantee of clear title, making it distinct from warranty deeds. This form also specifies the right of survivorship, meaning if one Grantee passes away, the other automatically assumes full ownership of the property.
