Virginia Quitclaim Deed Husband and Wife to Two Individuals
Understanding 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). This form is particularly useful when spouses want to convey property ownership without any warranties or guarantees. Unlike a warranty deed, a quitclaim deed does not provide any assurances about the property title, making it a straightforward option for transfers between acquaintances or family members.
