What is a Quit-Claim Deed?

A quit-claim deed is a document which indicates that the person who owns an interest in a property transfers that interest to someone else. The original interest owner, or grantor, can offer no guarantees about the property title to the recipient or grantee. The quit-claim deed is often used as a simple way to give up all interest in a property.
Despite its unusual sounding name, the quit-claim deed is a very important legal document. When you sell your property, a quit-claim deed needs to be filed with the county in your state. This transfers the interest of the property from the seller to the buyer.
