A quit claim deed is a legal document used to transfer ownership interest in a property from one party (the grantor) to another (the grantee) without guaranteeing that the title is free of liens, disputes, or other issues. Essentially, it "quits" any claim the grantor has to the property, transferring whatever interest they may have, but without making any promises about the property's condition or title.

​

Quit claim deeds are commonly used in situations such as transferring property between family members, resolving title issues, or clarifying ownership after a divorce. However, since the deed does not provide any warranties about the title, it's typically used when the parties involved trust each other or know that the property's title is clear.
