Information for Quitclaim Deed

This Quitclaim Deed form is used to convey an interest in real estate. A Quitclaim Deed does not include any promise or guarantee by the person making it (i.e. the Grantor) about the nature or quality of that interest, or even if any interest exists at all.

This type of deed may be useful in cases where a party is unable to transfer a fee simple estate or make promises about the title.

A buyer will rarely accept a Quitclaim Deed as the only form of conveyance when buying a property. Quitclaim deeds are mainly used in family situations or to correct possible technical defects in the title to the property. If you are a buyer taking a Quitclaim Deed, make sure that it satisfies your needs. Consult a real estate attorney and title insurance company to protect your interests.
