Quitclaim Deed

A quitclaim deed is a legal document used to transfer ownership of real estate from one person to another without guaranteeing any title rights. It effectively allows the seller (grantor) to relinquish their interest in the property to the buyer (grantee). Unlike a warranty deed, a quitclaim deed does not provide any assurance that the grantor actually owns the property or that there are no claims against it. This type of deed is often used in situations like transferring property between family members or clearing up title issues because it’s simpler and quicker.
