Quitclaim Deed

Before executing a quitclaim deed, be aware of these important factors. Consider using our state-specific forms to ensure proper formatting, or learn more about warranty deeds as an alternative.

• The deed transfers only the grantor's actual interest in the property
• No guarantees about the quality of title are provided
• Existing mortgages and liens typically remain in effect
• Title insurance may be affected by the transfer
• Tax implications should be considered

While not required, conducting a title search can reveal:

• Existing mortgages or liens
• Outstanding tax obligations
• Property use restrictions
• Easements or other claims
• Chain of title issues
