North Carolina Quitclaim Deed from one Individual to Two Individuals as Joint Tenants with the Right of Survivorship
Overview of this form
This Quitclaim Deed allows one individual (the grantor) to transfer property ownership to two individuals (the grantees) as joint tenants with the right of survivorship. This means that if one grantee passes away, the other will automatically inherit their share of the property. Unlike a warranty deed, a quitclaim deed does not guarantee that the grantor holds clear title to the property, making it essential to understand the risks involved in its use.
