A Quitclaim Deed from Husband and Wife to an Individual is a legal document that allows a married couple (the grantors) to transfer their interest in a property to an individual (the grantee) without making any warranties regarding the property title. This form is distinct from a warranty deed, which guarantees that the grantor holds clear title to the property. Instead, a quitclaim deed conveys whatever interest the grantors may have at the time of the transfer.

  • Prior instrument reference information (book, page, document number).
  • Reservation of oil, gas, and minerals owned by the grantors.
  • Provisions regarding the division of property taxes.
