Information for Quitclaim Deed
This Quitclaim Deed form is used to convey an interest in real estate. A Quitclaim Deed does
not include any promise or guarantee by the person making it (i.e. the Grantor) about the nature
or quality of that interest, or even if any interest exists at all.
This type of deed may be useful in cases where a party is unable to transfer a fee simple estate
or make promises about the title.
A buyer will rarely accept a Quitclaim Deed as the only form of conveyance when buying a
property. Quitclaim deeds are mainly used in family situations or to correct possible technical
defects in the title to the property. If you are a buyer taking a Quitclaim Deed, make sure that it
satisfies your needs. Consult a real estate attorney and title insurance company to protect your
interests.
These forms are not intended and are not a substitute for legal advice. These forms should only
