What is a Quit Claim Deed?
This is part one of our ongoing series: All About Property Transfers.
A Quit Claim Deed is basically a method to transfer real property without any type of warranty. Usually quit claim deeds are used to transfer real estate to heirs at no cost, or some other type of no cost structure, such as divorce settlements and so forth. Another situation one may use such a deed is for a spouse to disclaim his/her interests that the other spouse owns. One can also use quit claim deeds to transfer property to one’s corporate entity like an LLC. Usually, depending on the jurisdiction, the assessor’s office will only charge a small fee for such recording. For convenience sake, many companies offer forms for sale, so one doesn’t have to avoid costly attorney fees to settle such transactions.
