Virginia Quitclaim Deed from Corporation to Individual
What is this form?
The Quitclaim Deed from Corporation to Individual is a legal document that allows a corporation (the Grantor) to transfer its interest in a specific property to an individual (the Grantee) without making any warranties about the property. This form is different from a warranty deed, which provides guarantees about the title. The quitclaim deed typically conveys the property "as-is," meaning the Grantee receives whatever interest the Grantor has, if any, while excluding any oil, gas, or minerals from the transfer. This form complies with all state statutory laws, specifically for use in Virginia.
