FAQ
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.
A Quitclaim Deed must be notarized by a notary public or attorney in order to be valid. What does "Grantee's assigns" mean? Grantee's assigns refers to any person that the Grantee transfers the property to, after having received the property from the Grantor.
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.
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.
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.
You can correct an error on a California deed through a Correction Deed or Corrective Deed. Usually deed errors are as a result of someone attempting to prepare a deed without proper knowledge or professional help.
It's usually a very straightforward transaction, but it's possible for a quitclaim deed to be challenged. If a quitclaim deed is challenged in court, the issue becomes whether the property was legally transferred and if the grantor had the legal right to transfer the property.
Under California law, a deed that purports to convey title (ownership) or any other interest in real property, such as an easement, is completely void if the conveyancing party's signature on the deed is forged.
