Ohio Quitclaim Deed - One Individual to Three Individuals
Understanding this form
This Quitclaim Deed allows an individual, referred to as the grantor, to transfer real property to three individuals, known as the grantees. Unlike other types of deeds, a quitclaim deed does not guarantee that the grantor holds clear title to the property. It simply conveys the grantorâs interest, if any, in the property. This form is particularly useful when transferring property between family members or friends, simplifying the transaction process without the complexities of guarantees about the title.

FAQ
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.
The only way to forcibly change the ownership status is through a legal action and the resultant court order. However, if an owner chooses to be removed from the deed, it is simply a matter of preparing a new deed transferring that owner's interest in the property.
Quitclaim deeds are most often used to transfer property between family members. Examples include when an owner gets married and wants to add a spouse's name to the title or deed, or when the owners get divorced and one spouse's name is removed from the title or deed.
An Ohio quit claim deed is a legal document that adheres to state law, and legally transfers the ownership interest of a property from one person to the next. This form of transfer comes with no warranties or guarantees that the property title is clear, and the seller has the authority to sell the property.
Yes, you can use a Quitclaim Deed to transfer a gift of property to someone. You must still include consideration when filing your Quitclaim Deed with the County Recorder's Office to show that title has been transferred, so you would use $10.00 as the consideration for the property.
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.
If the quitclaim deed requires the signature of all co-owners, the deed is invalid unless all co-owners have signed it and the deed is then delivered to the grantee.If one individual owns real estate and desires to add a co-owner such as a spouse, a quitclaim deed might be used.
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.
