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.
They are commonly used to add/remove someone to/from real estate title or deed (divorce, name changes, family and trust transfers). The quitclaim deed is a legal document (deed) used to transfer interest in real estate from one person or entity (grantor) to another (grantee).
The deed transfer is done simply and there is no title search or title insurance used. It is fast and easy. Quitclaim deeds are not used for real estate sales, because the new owner receives no guarantees about the title and how valid it is.
A quitclaim deed is dangerous if you don't know anything about the person giving you the property. You should be sure that a person actually has rights to a property before signing it over with a quitclaim deed.
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 Does Not Release Debts Signing a quitclaim deed and giving up all rights to the property doesn't release you from any financial obligations you may have. It only removes you from the title, not from the mortgage, and you are still responsible for making payments.
A quitclaim deed is a legal instrument that is used to transfer interest in real property.The owner/grantor terminates (quits) any right and claim to the property, thereby allowing the right or claim to transfer to the recipient/grantee.
A quitclaim deed transfers a seller's right to property to another party without completing the traditional sale process. More often than not, the property is transferred without a formal sale or exchange of money.
