Tennessee Quitclaim Deed - Three Grantors to Two Grantees
Overview of this form
The Quitclaim Deed - Three Grantors to Two Grantees is a legal document used to transfer property rights from three individuals (the Grantors) to two individuals (the Grantees). This form allows the Grantors to convey their interests in a property without any warranties about the title. Unlike other types of deeds, such as warranty deeds, a quitclaim deed provides no assurance that the Grantors hold clear title to the property.

When to use this form

It is commonly utilized when the Grantors wish to relinquish any rights to the property without making guarantees as to the title.

FAQ
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.
A quitclaim deed only transfers the grantor's interests in a piece of real estate.A warranty deed contains a guarantee that the grantor has legal title and rights to the real estate. A quitclaim deed offers little to no protection to the grantee. It offers the least amount of protection out of any other type of deed.
The drawback, quite simply, is that quitclaim deeds offer the grantee/recipient no protection or guarantees whatsoever about the property or their ownership of it. Maybe the grantor did not own the property at all, or maybe they only had partial ownership.
A person who signs a quitclaim deed to transfer property they do not own results in no title at all being transferred since there is no actual ownership interest. The quitclaim deed only transfers the type of title you own.
A Tennessee Quit Claim Deed may be filled out and filed with the Tennessee Register of Deeds of the same County the Property being transferred is in. Laws § 66-5-103(2) Recording (A§ 66-5-106) Submit the quit claim along with the filing fee to the Register's Office in your County.
Once a quit claim deed has been completed and filed with the County Clerk's Office, the title will officially pass from the grantor to the grantee. The only way to reverse a quit claim deed is to go to court and prove that the grantor was forced to sign the document under duress.
First, so long as you own the property you purchased, you are obligated to pay its property taxes. One way to get a warranty deed to the property you acquired via a foreclosure where you got a quit claim deed for it is to simply deed the property to yourself or a trust that you created as a grant (warranty) deed.
If the quitclaim deed requires the signature of all co-owners, the deed is invalid unless all co-owners have signed it and the deed is then delivered to the grantee.If one individual owns real estate and desires to add a co-owner such as a spouse, a quitclaim deed might be used.
To add a spouse to a deed, all you have to do is literally fill out, sign and record a new deed in your county recorder's office.
