North Carolina Quitclaim Deed from Individual to Two (2) Individuals / Husband and Wife
What this document covers
The Quitclaim Deed from Individual to Two Individuals (Husband and Wife) is a legal document used to transfer property rights from one person to two individuals, typically a married couple. This form allows the Grantor to convey their interest in the property without making any warranties about the title. Unlike other deed types, a quitclaim deed does not guarantee that the Grantor has valid ownership or that the property is free from any claims, making it a simpler, though less secure, option for property transfers.
Form components explained
- Identification of the Grantor (the individual transferring the property).
- Identification of the Grantees (two individuals or a husband and wife receiving the property).
- Description of the property being transferred.
- Specification of how the Grantees will hold the property (e.g., as tenants in common or joint tenants with right of survivorship).
- Notary acknowledgment section for legal validation.
Common use cases
This form is ideal when an individual wishes to transfer ownership of real property to two individuals, particularly in circumstances such as marriage, divorce settlements, or gift transfers. It can be used when there is a need to quickly transfer property rights without the complexity of a warranty deed, especially between family members or trusted parties.
