West Virginia Quitclaim Mineral Deed - Executor to Individual
What is this form?
The Quitclaim Mineral Deed - Executor to Individual is a legal document that allows an executor of an estate to transfer mineral interests in specific property to an individual. This deed is distinct from other property transfer documents, such as warranty deeds, because it conveys only whatever interest the executor has without guaranteeing that the title is clear.
