What is a quitclaim deed?

A quitclaim deed is a legal instrument through which the owner of a property (the transferor) conveys their ownership to a different owner (the transferee). The transferors convey their interest in the property to the transferees, but do not provide any warranties regarding the property. They are simply transferring whatever interest they hold in the property at the time they execute the document.

What does rights of survivorship mean?

The transferees will hold title to the property as joint tenants, with rights of survivorship, which means that if one of them dies, title to the property automatically passes to the surviving joint tenant without the need for probate.

When is a quitclaim deed used?

This type of deed is frequently used in situations where a straightforward transfer of ownership will suffice. It is particularly useful when the parties do not require extensive guarantees of title.
