Virginia Quitclaim Deed Husband and Wife to Two Individuals
What is this form?
The Quitclaim Deed Husband and Wife to Two Individuals is a legal document that allows a married couple (the grantors) to transfer their interest in a property to two other individuals (the grantees) without making any guarantees about the title. This type of deed is distinct from warranty deeds, which provide assurances regarding the property's title. In this deed, the grantees can hold the property either as tenants in common or as joint tenants with right of survivorship, which affects how ownership rights are passed on after death.
