The DEED is the most important item in a real estate transaction because it’s the official document that transfers the property’s legal title from one person or entity to another.

When all is said and done – the ultimate definition of who owns property all comes down to what’s written in the DEED. This is the document that everything else revolves around.

Several different types of deeds can be used when transferring real estate. One commonly known type of deed is the Quit Claim Deed (sometimes confused as a "Quick Claim Deed").

With a Quit Claim Deed, the seller is offering absolutely no guarantees or promises of any kind about the property’s title. By signing this document, the seller is simply saying,

“Whatever interest I may have in this property (if anything), I am transferring it to the buyer.”

A Quit Claim Deed provides no warranty about whether the title is clear – so if a buyer is willing to accept this, they should be doing their homework to ensure the property has a clear chain of title.

Wow I was going to pay an attorney to fill this out for me and he was going to charge me $2900 but I ended up doing it myself this week and save that money

[MicahSpivey]

Do you have to put a dollar amount or can it be zero dollars? I’ve also noticed on the quit claim deed that I have that there is a grantor signature but no place for the grantee to sign, is this correct?

[dextercope]

Thank you for the link to Rocket Lawyer, that helped me out so much!

I had my ex removed using a quit claim deed in 2017. It was filled out incorrectly and the Married box was checked. We was not married at the time but now in 2021 I am refinancing my home but the title search company stated we need to correct this information. They advise just redo the quitclaim deed but as of 2020 this person has a restraining order against me so I can not contact this person. The records depart advise I submit a affidavit but I am not sure how. Will the affidavit solve my issue so the title company and bank can move forward with my loan?

What if you are transferring a property to a friend, not family, can you use this? All in Ny

if the grantee is married do you have to put married or can you put single. I want to go do that and if I put the grantee is married at automatically tries to make me put their spouse in as well. I'm trying to transfer it over to my wife's name and I don't want it in my name at all but if I go to transfer and put her as married it automatically tries to make me be attached to it since I'm her husband. I don't live in a communitive law state either.

Hello, if i transfer my 30% interest to my spouse that we own together, will that sever the joint tenancy we hold with the other interest owners on the property?

[christopherfarrell]

Once I complete the template for the quit claim deed and have it notarized and have the new owner sign it.
What do I do with the current deed I have as the owner ?
Thanks

[AnytthinggGoes]

So once the quit claim deed is recorded after it is signed by both parties, how soon does the granters name get removed from the title so that the title is now put into the grantees name?

[gabrieldominguez]

Hi, What should I do first to buy a house with quit claim deed sale?

[pitbull]

What if you don't have a date of sale and just want to clear the joint tenancy? I'd rather use a blank form and not pay the monthly subscription.

We for the first time are doing a quit claim purchase only because it is family & we had a title search cleared.Also we are having an attorney do it for us to be safe.My question is there another step through. County court?
