Commonly Asked Questions about Quitclaims Deeds

Quitclaim deeds lack certain protections and promises found in other types of deed to real property. Because of this, they should only be used under certain circumstances. These include transferring real estate between close family membersfor instance, from a parent to a child.
Simply put, Grant Deeds ensure that the true owner of a certain property or title has the legal right to convey their interest in the property, while a Quitclaim Deed does not have any such warranties or assurances. Quitclaim Deeds are commonly used in real property transactions involving family members or trusts.
A quitclaim deed transfers the title of a property from one person to another, with little to no buyer protection. The grantor, the person giving away the property, gives their current deed to the grantee, the person receiving the property.
A docHub disadvantage to a buyer receiving a quitclaim deed is the lack of warranties and guarantees about the propertys title. Unlike other types of deeds, a quitclaim deed does not assure that the grantor has a valid ownership interest in the property or that the property is free from liens or encumbrances.
Both types of legal documents serve the same function of transferring ownership of real property. The fundamental difference between quitclaim deeds and grant deeds is the level of protection and warranty provided to the grantee.
A grant deed includes two warranties: that the grantor received title, and that the property was unencumbered by the grantor. It does not contain any information to pay legal costs if a title claim needs to be defended. It also does not provide any warranties to claims made before the title was acquired by the grantor.
Quitclaim deeds, therefore, are commonly used to transfer property within a family, such as from a parent to an adult child, between siblings, or when a property owner gets married and wants to add their spouse to the title. Married couples who own a home together and later divorce also use quitclaim deeds.
Grant Deeds are used to transfer title of real property. This is done at the time of purchase and can be later recorded to add or remove individuals names after purchase. This is known as the title document.
