FAQ
Quitclaim deeds are most often used to transfer property between family members. Examples include when an owner gets married and wants to add a spouse's name to the title or deed, or when the owners get divorced and one spouse's name is removed from the title or 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.
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.
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.
