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.
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 divorce and one spouse's name is removed from the title or deed.
A quitclaim deed will remove the out-spouse (or departing spouse) from the title to the property, effectively relinquishing their equity or ownership in the home. The execution of a quitclaim deed is typically a requirement of a divorce settlement in order to complete the division of assets.
You usually do this by filing a quitclaim deed, in which your ex-spouse gives up all rights to the property. Your ex should sign the quitclaim deed in front of a notary. One this document is notarized, you file it with the county. This publicly removes the former partner's name from the property deed and the mortgage.
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.
A Quitclaim Deed must be notarized by a notary public or attorney in order to be valid.Consideration in a Quitclaim Deed is what the Grantee will pay to the Grantor for the interest in the property.
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.
