An Ohio Quit Claim Deed is a legal document used to transfer ownership of real estate in the state of Ohio. The granter (seller) of the deed relinquishes all of their rights in the property, known as a quit claim. The grantee (buyer) receives all the rights and title to the property, although the deed does not guarantee the title is free from all claims and defects. There are three different types of Ohio Quit Claim Deeds: General Warranty Deed, Special Warranty Deed, and Quit Claim Deed. The General Warranty Deed provides the highest level of protection for the grantee, as it guarantees the granter has a clear title to the property and good faith that there are no claims against it. The Special Warranty Deed guarantees the title to the property is free from claims and defects from the time the granter obtained the title. The Quit Claim Deed provides the least amount of protection for the grantee, as it only guarantees the granter owns the title to the property, but does not guarantee that the title is free from claims and defects.
