LawDepot's Quitclaim Deed:

Is used to transfer the entire interest that a person has in real property.
Is perfect for transferring real property between people who are well-known to one another, such as family members or divorcing spouses.
Is also good for clearing up questions of full title when a person has a possible, but undetermined interest in a property.

A Quitclaim Deed does not warrant that there are no encumbrances other than those listed on the deed. If you wish to warrant good clear title free from any encumbrances that are not listed on the deed, please use our Warranty Deed form.

If you want the property to go to the surviving title holders upon the death of one of them, use Lawdepot's Survivorship Deed.

Grantor/Seller's Information (person transferring title) Q. Who should I list as the Grantor?

A. The Grantor is the person who bestows or gives the possession of something. In the case of a transfer of property by deed, the Grantor is the person who gives interest that he or she holds in the property to someone else. Generally, the Grantor section should include everyone whose name is currently on the title of the property that is being transferred.

Number of Sellers:

First Seller's Information

Name:

Grantee/Purchaser's Information (person purchasing or receiving title) Q. Who should I list as the Grantee?

A. The Grantee is the person who receives the grant. In the case of a transfer of property by deed, the Grantee is the person who receives interest of the property from the Grantor and should include everyone, whose name will be on the title of the property once it has been transferred.

Be aware that a person can be both a Grantor and a Grantee on a deed. For example, if John Smith currently holds title to a home and he wants to convey half interest of that family property to his wife, Mary Smith, John Smith would be listed as the Grantor, and John Smith and Mary Smith would be listed as the Grantee.

Number of Purchasers:

Consideration (the amount that the Grantor is selling the property to the Grantee for.)

Cash value:

Q. What is the consideration?

A. The consideration entered on a deed document should be the actual value paid by the Grantee to the Grantor in monetary terms. If no consideration is being provided, such as in the case of a gift, then 10.00 can be entered as the standard consideration. (e.g. 145,000.00, 10.00, etc.)
If the property is being transferred as a gift or for a nominal amount, then use $10.00 as the consideration.
