Texas Quitclaim Deed from Five Individuals to Four Individuals
What is this form?
This form is a Quitclaim Deed designed for the transfer of property from five individuals (grantors) to four individuals (grantees). Unlike traditional deeds, a quitclaim deed does not guarantee that the grantors hold clear title to the property; it simply transfers whatever interest they may have. This form allows grantees to take ownership as tenants in common or joint tenants with right of survivorship, depending on their relationship and agreement. It complies with state statutory laws, making it valid for property transactions.

But you might be wondering if an owner can transfer a deed to another person without a real estate lawyer. The answer is yes. Parties to a transaction are always free to prepare their own deeds.A quitclaim deed, for example, is far simpler than a warranty deed.
The Quit Claim Deed form uses the terms of Grantor (Seller or Owner of said property) and Grantee (Buyer of said property) for the two parties involved. First, the parties must fill in the date. Then, write in the name of the county and state in which the property is located.
However, in order to be recorded in the county deed records in Texas, the grantor's signature must be acknowledged, for example through a certification by a notary public.Unless the deed is recorded electronically, it must also contain an original signature of the grantor, and not a copy.
In Texas, a grant deed conveys title to real property with implied covenants. By including the words "grant" or "convey," the grantor guarantees that he/she has not transferred title to the property to anyone other than the grantee, and that, at the time of transfer, the estate is free from impediments.
In order to validly convey title to real estate in Texas, a grantor must execute a deed to the property in front of a notary public. The deed must be presented to and accepted by the grantee, and it should be filed of record in the county clerk's office to put the public on notice of the transfer.
You may obtain Texas land records, including deeds, from the county clerk in the Texas county in which the property is located. You can search online for a deed in some counties, or else request the deed from the clerk in person, by mail, phone, fax or email.
