North Carolina Quitclaim Deed - Husband and Wife to Three Individuals
What is this form?
The Quitclaim Deed - Husband and Wife to Three Individuals is a legal document that allows a husband and wife (the grantors) to transfer any interest they have in a property to three individuals (the grantees). This type of deed is different from other deeds, such as warranty deeds, because it does not guarantee any title or claim against the property, rather it simply relinquishes any interest the grantors might have. The property can be taken as either tenants in common or joint tenants with the right of survivorship, depending on how the grantees choose to hold the title.
