Pennsylvania Quitclaim Deed from Individual Grantor to Three Individual Grantees with Release of Life Estate
Overview of this form
This form is a Quitclaim Deed that enables an individual Grantor to legally convey property rights to three individual Grantees. Unlike a warranty deed, which assures the Grantees that the Grantor has a clear title to the property, a quitclaim deed merely transfers whatever interest the Grantor may have in the property, without any guarantees. This form includes a release of any life estate retained by the Grantor, meaning the Grantor relinquishes their right to use the property for their lifetime.
What’s included in this form
- Grantor's identity and acknowledgment of consideration.
- Details of the Grantees who will receive the property.

But you might be wondering if an owner can transfer a deed to another person without a real estate lawyer. The answer is yes. Parties to a transaction are always free to prepare their own deeds.A quitclaim deed, for example, is far simpler than a warranty deed.
Quitclaim Does Not Release Debts Signing a quitclaim deed and giving up all rights to the property doesn't release you from any financial obligations you may have. It only removes you from the title, not from the mortgage, and you are still responsible for making payments.
It's usually a very straightforward transaction, but it's possible for a quitclaim deed to be challenged. If a quitclaim deed is challenged in court, the issue becomes whether the property was legally transferred and if the grantor had the legal right to transfer the property.
Even if you sign a quitclaim deed, the mortgage balance will continue to show up on your credit report. This will hurt what is called your debt utilization ratio. This may mean you have too much debt to be qualified for your next mortgage when you want to buy a new home.
To use a Quitclaim Deed to add someone to a property deed or title, you would need to create a Quitclaim Deed and list all of the current owners in the grantor section. In the grantee section, you would list all of the current owners as well as the person you would like to add.
