South Carolina 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 that allows a married couple (the grantors) to transfer their property interest to a corporation (the grantee). Unlike other types of deeds, a quitclaim deed does not guarantee that the title is clear; it merely transfers whatever interest the grantors have in the property. This form is ideal for situations where the couple is transferring their ownership to a corporate entity without representations about the state of the title.
