Wisconsin Quitclaim Deed from Corporation to Individual
Understanding this form
The Quitclaim Deed from Corporation to Individual is a legal document in which a corporation (the Grantor) transfers its property ownership to an individual (the Grantee). This type of deed is specifically designed to convey property without any warranties about the title, making it different from more complex deed types. The Grantor is effectively relinquishing any claim to the property, except for reserved rights, such as oil, gas, and mineral interests.
