FAQ
This is called recording your deed. When done properly, a deed is recorded anywhere from two weeks to three months after closing.
Once a quit claim deed has been completed and filed with the County Clerk's Office, the title will officially pass from the grantor to the grantee. The only way to reverse a quit claim deed is to go to court and prove that the grantor was forced to sign the document under duress.
First, so long as you own the property you purchased, you are obligated to pay its property taxes. One way to get a warranty deed to the property you acquired via a foreclosure where you got a quit claim deed for it is to simply deed the property to yourself or a trust that you created as a grant (warranty) deed.
A quitclaim deed only transfers the grantor's interests in a piece of real estate.A warranty deed contains a guarantee that the grantor has legal title and rights to the real estate. A quitclaim deed offers little to no protection to the grantee. It offers the least amount of protection out of any other type of deed.
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.
Once you sign a quitclaim deed and it has been filed and recorded with the County Clerks Office, the title has been officially transferred and cannot be easily reversed. In order to reverse this type of transfer, it would require your spouse to cooperate and assist in adding your name back to the 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.
A warranty deed, also known as a general warranty deed, is a legal real estate document between the seller (grantor) and the buyer (grantee). The deed protects the buyer by pledging that the seller holds clear title to the property and there are no encumbrances, outstanding liens, or mortgages against it.
