Kentucky Quitclaim Deed from Individual to Two Individuals
What this document covers
The Quitclaim Deed from Individual to Two Individuals is a legal document that allows an individual, referred to as the Grantor, to transfer property ownership to two other individuals, known as the Grantees, either as joint tenants or tenants in common. This form specifically includes a reservation of any oil, gas, and mineral rights that the Grantor retains. Unlike other deed types, a quitclaim deed does not guarantee that the property is free from encumbrances; it simply transfers whatever interest the Grantor may have.

- Description of the property being transferred.
- Conditions regarding the reservation of oil, gas, and minerals.

FAQ
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.
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.
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.
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.
If you own your own home, you are free to gift or sell an interest in the real property to someone else.You'll need to transfer an interest by writing up another deed with the person's name on it. In California, you can use either a grant deed, a quitclaim deed or an interspousal deed, depending on your circumstances.
A person who signs a quitclaim deed to transfer property they do not own results in no title at all being transferred since there is no actual ownership interest. The quitclaim deed only transfers the type of title you own.
