New York Quitclaim Deed - Two Individuals to Two Individuals
Understanding this form
This Quitclaim Deed is a legal document that allows two individuals (grantors) to convey their interest in a property to two other individuals (grantees). It differs from other deed types as it does not guarantee the title of the property; instead, it simply transfers whatever interest the grantors have. The grantees may take ownership as joint tenants with rights of survivorship or as tenants in common, which can affect how the property is inherited.
