Iowa Quitclaim Deed from Corporation to Husband and Wife

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.

A quitclaim deed is quick and easy because it transfers all of one person's interest in the property to another.The deed transfers all claims the seller has to the property, if any. If the seller has no interest in the real estate, no interest is transferred.

A quitclaim deed is dangerous if you don't know anything about the person giving you the property. You should be sure that a person actually has rights to a property before signing it over with a quitclaim deed.

Quitclaim deeds are most often used to transfer property between family members. Examples include when an owner gets married and wants to add a spouse's name to the title or deed, or when the owners get divorced and one spouse's name is removed from the title or deed.

A quitclaim deed doesn't always need to be signed before the divorce is final. Your divorce judgment will detail the terms of your property settlement agreement, and the requirement for transferring title will likely be incorporated into this agreement.

The drawback, quite simply, is that quitclaim deeds offer the grantee/recipient no protection or guarantees whatsoever about the property or their ownership of it. Maybe the grantor did not own the property at all, or maybe they only had partial ownership.

Fill out the quit claim deed form, which can be obtained online, or write your own using the form as a guide. The person giving up the interest in the property is the grantor, and the person receiving the interest is the grantee.

An Iowa (IA) quitclaim deed (sometimes mistakenly referred to as quit claim deed, quit claims deed, and quick claim deed) is used to legally transfer one person's or entity's (grantor) interest in real property to another (grantee).

A quitclaim deed transfers title but makes no promises at all about the owner's title.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.
