QUITCLAIM Meaning and Definition

  1. Quitclaim is a legal term referring to a type of property deed that transfers the ownership rights or interest in a property from one party to another. It is often used to release or relinquish any claim or rights that the grantor (person giving up ownership) may have on the property, without making any warranties or guarantees regarding the title or quality of the property.

    In a quitclaim deed, the grantor willingly transfers their interest in the property to the grantee (person receiving ownership), eliminating any legal claims or disputes that may arise in the future. This type of deed is commonly used to transfer property within families, between spouses during divorce proceedings, or to clear defects in a title.

    Unlike other types of deeds, a quitclaim does not provide any guarantee or protection to the grantee regarding the title's validity or the property's condition. It simply transfers the grantor's interest in the property, without any warranty or promise about the status of the title or property.

    It is important for parties involved in a quitclaim deed to understand that it does not offer the same level of legal protection as a warranty deed. Therefore, it is advisable to conduct a thorough title search and consult with legal professionals to ensure the property's history and title are clear before entering into a quitclaim arrangement.
