Vermont Quitclaim Deed from a Trust to an Individual
About this form
A Quitclaim Deed from a Trust to an Individual is a legal document that allows a trust (the Grantor) to transfer property ownership to an individual (the Grantee). Unlike other types of deeds, a quitclaim deed does not guarantee title or ownership; it simply conveys whatever interest the Grantor has in the property. This form is particularly useful when property is being transferred as part of estate planning, estate settlement, or a familial arrangement. It is important to note that this form does not include warranties against claims or liens on the property.
