West 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 ownership of real estate to an individual (the Grantee). This deed conveys the property without any warranty of title, meaning the Grantee receives whatever interest the Grantor has, if any. Unlike other types of deeds, the Quitclaim Deed does not seek to guarantee that the Grantor holds clear title. This form is specifically designed for transactions where a corporation transfers property directly to a person or individual.
Form components explained
