South Carolina Quitclaim Deed from Individual to Two Individuals in Joint Tenancy
Overview of this form
The Quitclaim Deed from Individual to Two Individuals in Joint Tenancy is a legal document that transfers property ownership from one individual (the Grantor) to two individuals (the Grantees) as joint tenants. Unlike other types of deeds, a quitclaim deed does not guarantee that the Grantor holds clear title to the property; it merely conveys whatever interest the Grantor has. This form specifically maintains the joint tenancy arrangement, which ensures that upon the death of one Grantee, their share automatically passes to the surviving Grantee.

- Identification of the Grantor and Grantees.
