Maryland Quitclaim Deed from Husband and Wife, or Two Individuals, to Husband, Wife and an Individual
About this form
The Quitclaim Deed from Husband and Wife, or Two Individuals, to Husband, Wife, and an Individual is a legal document used to transfer ownership of real property. In this deed, the Grantors (who can be a husband and wife or two individuals) relinquish their interest in the property to Grantees (a husband and wife along with another individual).
