Quit Claim Deeds are documents used to transfer ownership of property. One person stops or quits any interest or claim to the property allowing his or her claim to transfer to someone else.
Because Quit Claim Deeds do not offer the buyer a warranty on the title, they are most often used to transfer ownership of property when the property is conveyed as a gift or during a divorce.
The term Quit Claim is used in the deed because the seller quits his claim or interest and transfers ownership in the property to the buyer. A Quit Claim Deed does not provide any guarantee or warranty that the seller owns the property, it just conveys whatever interest he has when the deed is executed.
