Quitclaim Deed Trust

Yes, a quit claim deed supercedes the trust. The only thing that can be done is to file a suit in court challenging the deed as the product of fraud and undue influence. A court action like that will cost thousands of dollars, but might be worth it if the house was owned free and clear.

To use a Quitclaim Deed to add someone to a property deed or title, you would need to create a Quitclaim Deed and list all of the current owners in the grantor section. In the grantee section, you would list all of the current owners as well as the person you would like to add.

But you might be wondering if an owner can transfer a deed to another person without a real estate lawyer. The answer is yes. Parties to a transaction are always free to prepare their own deeds.A quitclaim deed, for example, is far simpler than a warranty deed.

Locate the Prior Deed to the Property. Get a New Deed to the Property. Sign and Notarize the New Deed. Record the New Deed in the Land Records.

Enter your name in the "prepared by" space. List yourself as the grantor, as you're the party giving up your interest. Name yourself and your wife as the grantees. List your current primary residence in any spaces that request the grantor's address.

A person who signs a quitclaim deed to transfer property they do not own results in no title at all being transferred since there is no actual ownership interest. The quitclaim deed only transfers the type of title you own.

It's usually a very straightforward transaction, but it's possible for a quitclaim deed to be challenged. If a quitclaim deed is challenged in court, the issue becomes whether the property was legally transferred and if the grantor had the legal right to transfer the property.

Fill in the deed form. Print it out. Sign and get the signature(s) notarized. Prepare and sign an Affidavit of Property Value, if required. Check the recording fees in your county. Record the document at the county recorder's office.
