FAQ
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.
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.
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.
Fill out the quit claim deed form, which can be obtained online, or write your own using the form as a guide. The person giving up the interest in the property is the grantor, and the person receiving the interest is the grantee.
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.
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.
