About this form
A Quitclaim Deed from Individual to Individual is a legal document that allows one individual (the Grantor) to transfer their ownership interest in a property to another individual (the Grantee) without making any warranties about the property title. This deed is particularly useful in situations where the parties know each other and trust that the property has clear title. Unlike other types of deeds, such as warranty deeds, a quitclaim deed does not guarantee that the title is free from liens or other issues. This form is intended for use in the State of South Dakota.
