A conveyance of
real estate is a transfer from one person to another.
A deed is one form of conveyance.
It transfers title of real estate from one person to
another. Title means
ownership of real estate. The
person transferring title is known as the “grantor,” and the
person receiving the title is known as the “grantee.”
There are several types of deeds.
One type is known as a quit claim deed.
In a quit claim deed, the grantor transfers all the right,
claim, or interest in the real estate to the grantee.
It does not contain any of the covenants or warranties
found in a warranty deed. It
does not covenant or warrant that the grantor's interest in the
real estate is valid, but simply transfers any interest, claimed
by the grantor, to the grantee.
All states
require that a quit claim deed must be in writing and must be
signed. It must be
recorded to put third persons such as creditors and subsequent
purchasers on notice as to the transfer.
For further information, see the subtopic “Deeds.”
Please see specific state for details
and/or differences.
