District of Columbia Quitclaim Deed from Personal Representative to a Decedent's Estate.
Understanding this form
The Quitclaim Deed from Personal Representative to a Decedent's Estate is a legal document used to transfer real property from the personal representative of a deceased person's estate to another decedent's estate. This form allows the grantor to convey any interest they may hold in the property, relinquishing their claims without guaranteeing that the title is free of defects.
