What You Should Know Before Using Our Free Quitclaim Deed Form
By signing a quitclaim deed, a person (grantor) transfers any ownership rights that he or she may have on a real estate to another person (grantee). It's like saying, "I'm giving up any stake that I have for this property and handing it over to you."
If you are the grantee, it's not time to pop the champagne yet. Even if someone signs over his or her ownership rights to you, it doesn't necessarily make you the new overlord - For all you know, there are other co-owners or the grantor doesn't even have ownership in the first place (gasp!).

However a sample quitclaim deed form comes in especially handy for divorcing couples where one spouse agrees to sign away all his or her ownership claims on a property and give it all to other party. In this case, one half of the couple does become the sole owner of the property.
Quit claim deed forms also work well if you have a cloud on title. In other words, "We are not sure if this person has any ownership in this real estate... Let's play it safe and ask the person to sign this deed so that he or she won't be able to stake a claim for the property."
*Make sure this free quit claim deed form complies with your local real estate laws before using it. If you have any doubts, you can ask a real estate lawyer online.
