West Virginia Quitclaim Deed from Corporation to Husband and Wife
Overview of this form
The Quitclaim Deed from Corporation to Husband and Wife is a legal document used to transfer property ownership from a corporation to a married couple. This form specifically conveys the property rights to the grantees, who hold the title as joint tenants with rights of survivorship, meaning that if one spouse passes away, the other automatically inherits the entire interest. This deed differs from other types of deeds, such as warranty deeds, because it does not guarantee that the property is free of claims or liens.
