What is a Quitclaim Deed
Quitclaim Deeds transfer or "quit" any interest in real property.  Quitclaim Deeds are sometimes erroneously referred to as Quick Claim Deeds or Quickclaim Deeds or Quit Claim Deeds.
The grantor (seller) may not be officially or legally listed on any ownership documents. Because of this, Quitclaim Deeds are used primarily when the grantee (buyer) knows the seller.
Quitclaim Deeds are commonly used in divorce when one of the spouses is not legally recorded on any property ownership documents.
