Vermont Quitclaim Deed from Individual to Individual
About this form
The Quitclaim Deed from Individual to Individual is a legal document used to transfer ownership of real property from one individual (the Grantor) to another individual (the Grantee). Unlike other types of deeds, a quitclaim deed does not guarantee that the Grantor holds clear title to the property; it merely conveys whatever interest the Grantor might have at the time of transfer. This form is particularly useful for straightforward property transfers between individuals, such as family members or friends, where formal title assurances may not be necessary.
