What is a Quitclaim Deed?

A Quitclaim Deed is a legal document used to transfer ownership interest in real property from one person (the grantor) to another (the grantee) without any warranties or guarantees about the property’s title. It's most commonly used between family members, spouses, or to transfer property into a trust. It’s a quick and simple method for transferring property rights but offers no protection against liens or title issues.
