Quit Claim Deeds are legal documents utilized by an owner of real property to transfer ownership. Using a Quit Claim Deed, the owner or seller, transfers interest to another party, called the grantee or buyer.
The seller stops, or quits, any interest, or claim, to the property, allowing his or her claim to transfer to the buyer.
Quit Claim Deeds do not offer the buyer a warranty on the title and are most often used to transfer ownership of property when the property is conveyed as a gift. An example being the transfer of property from a parent to a child.
A Quit Claim Deed is one of the easiest ways to legally transfer ownership of real property. It is also a very inexpensive and quick way for property owners to transfer title.
