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 used to transfer property ownership from one individual (the Grantor) to two individuals (the Grantees) who will own the property together in joint tenancy. This type of deed is often used when the Grantor wants to relinquish any rights to the property without making any guarantees about the title. Unlike a warranty deed, a quitclaim deed does not provide any warranties or guarantees about the propertyâs title, making it a quicker and simpler option for transferring property interests.

FAQ

The deed conveys the property to two people and provides that the surviving Grantee automatically owns the entire property on a death. It does not guarantee clear title and includes essential elements like grantor/grantees, property description, and witness/notary validation plus recording considerations.
This form is designed to name exactly two Grantees and establish joint tenancy with the right of survivorship. It is not intended for three or more named Grantees in a single deed. If more parties must share ownership, use separate deeds or a different form that accommodates additional grantees.
Common mistakes include misidentifying the Grantor or Grantees, an inaccurate property description, and missing the joint tenancy with the right of survivorship language. Also, failing to sign, have witnesses, or notarize, or neglecting to record or address recording fees can delay or invalidate the transfer.
In this form, the two Grantees hold as joint tenants with the right of survivorship. When one owner dies, the surviving Grantee automatically owns the entire property, which can avoid probate for the deceased's share, assuming there are no other encumbrances or interests.

This form creates a joint tenancy with the right of survivorship for two grantees. The surviving owner automatically receives the deceased's interest, whereas a non-survivorship arrangement (such as a tenancy in common) may not provide automatic transfer to a single survivor and could require probate checks or different terms.
