Pennsylvania Quitclaim Deed from Husband and Wife to Corporation
What is this form?
The Quitclaim Deed from Husband and Wife to Corporation is a legal document used when a married couple (the grantors) transfers their property ownership to a corporation (the grantee). This form effectively releases any claims they have on the property, allowing the corporation to take possession. Unlike a warranty deed, this quitclaim deed does not guarantee that the grantors hold clear title to the property, making it vital for specific conveyances, especially when transferring property between family members and corporate entities.
Form components explained
- Identification of the grantors (husband and wife) and grantee (corporation).
- Legal description of the property being transferred.
- Statement of consideration received for the property.
- Reservation of oil, gas, and minerals under the property, if applicable.
- Subject to existing easements or mineral reservations.
