Quit claim deed

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

A quit claim deed is a legal document by which a person releases or "quits" any claim that they may have had to property. Of the different types of deeds, the quit-claim has the least assurance that the person receiving it will actually get any rights. The person who provides a quit-claim deed makes no warranty or representation that they actually own anything. The quit-claim merely provides that whatever they had or may have had, they are conveying it. Other types of deeds are judicial deeds, warranty deeds, deeds of trust, will deeds, and sheriff's deeds.
