How to Fill Out a Quit Claim
Quitclaim deeds are often used when the parties are familiar with each other and the land at issue. Often, in a divorce or an estate proceeding, a quitclaim deed is used to make a transfer in title. The reason is that quitclaim deeds do not contain any promises or guarantees. Essentially, all the quitclaim deed does is make it clear that the person who owned the land is giving up any and all interest in that land to the new owner. Only use this type of deed if you know the owner has good title and if you know the land is not encumbered by any tax liens or claims of ownership from other persons.
