Texas Quitclaim Deed - One Individual to Two Individuals
About this form
This Quitclaim Deed is a legal document used when a grantor (one individual) transfers their interest in a property to two grantees (two individuals). Unlike a warranty deed, a quitclaim deed does not guarantee that the grantor holds clear title to the property.
