The DEED is the most important item in a real estate transaction because it’s the official document that transfers the property’s legal title from one person or entity to another.
When all is said and done - the ultimate definition of who owns property all comes down to what’s written in the DEED. This is the document that everything else revolves around.
Several different types of deeds can be used when transferring real estate. One commonly known type of deed is the Quit Claim Deed (sometimes confused as a "Quick Claim Deed").
With a Quit Claim Deed, the seller is offering absolutely no guarantees or promises of any kind about the property’s title. By signing this document, the seller is simply saying,
“Whatever interest I may have in this property (if anything), I am transferring it to the buyer.”
A Quit Claim Deed provides no warranty about whether the title is clear - so if a buyer is willing to accept this, they should be doing their homework to ensure the property has a clear chain of title.
For more information on how to close a cash real estate transaction (when no financing is involved), you can read more about the basic steps in this blog post: retipster.com/how-to-close-cas...

I had my ex removed using a quit claim deed in 2017. It was filled out incorrectly and the Married box was checked. We was not married at the time but now in 2021 I am refinancing my home but the title search company stated we need to correct this information. They advise just redo the quitclaim deed but as of 2020 this person has a restraining order against me so I can not contact this person. The records depart advise I submit a affidavit but I am not sure how. Will the affidavit solve my issue so the title company and bank can move forward with my loan?

@TysonCapel23 5 лет назад

if the grantee is married do you have to put married or can you put single. I want to go do that and if I put the grantee is married at automatically tries to make me put their spouse in as well. I'm trying to transfer it over to my wife's name and I don't want it in my name at all but if I go to transfer and put her as married it automatically tries to make me be attached to it since I'm her husband. I don't live in a communitive law state either.

@Retipster 5 лет назад

Hmmm, interesting. I can see why the system is defaulting to include you, but it probably isn't accounting for these situations where one spouse is transferring all of their ownership to the other (which is odd, you'd think it would know how to handle this because it's not an uncommon thing). In any event, you should be able to download the final document as a word document, and then you can edit yourself out as the grantee.

Do I still use a quitclaim deed in a situation where my grandmother doesn't want to make a will and wants to give the deed to the house to my mother?

@Retipster 5 лет назад

I can't really give you any legal advice on that (since I'm not a lawyer). Sorry!

@stephanieccherry9123 4 года назад

I'm not an attorney(and I offer NO legal advice), however, I am a paralegal that has conducted many title checks and prepared countless title opinions and deeds over the years, for attorneys. I CAN NOT ADVISE YOU LEGALLY as to what you should do, but I will tell you what I would do. I don't know what state you're in, but in my opinion, if your mother is the only child of your grandmother and there are no liens on the home, I would do it. She(your grandmother/the Grantor) would just be basically saying that she is giving any interest that she owns at the time of the quit-claim deed being executed to your mother(the Grantee). She's not making any warranty or guarantee that she actually owns it, even if she knows that she does. She's just basically transferring it out of her name and into your mother's, thereby removing herself from any ownership. That's why most of the time only relatives and in some cases, close friends and at some tax sales use them. As long as your grandmother owns it, then I would use a quit claim bc it's just easier and cheaper. You wouldn't need to hire someone to complete a full title check and prepare the warranty deed. Now, your grandmother can also retain whats called a "life estate" in it also, whereby she states that she will Iive there until her death and at that time it will become the property of the grantee. That's just to make sure she doesn't get kicked out. (It happens!) I hope this helps and didn't cause more confusion. If you have any more questions, I would contact a property attorney. I've found that most smaller attorney offices will give you free advice on the phone for simple matters, at least once. I worked for one that would. (If there are more children than just your mother, she should definitely contact an attorney in your state just to make sure that no one can contest the validity, just like they could a will). Laws vary so much from state to state and if you're in Louisiana, you might as well be on the moon bc their laws are completely different from any other state.

@AnytthinggGoes 2 года назад

So once the quit claim deed is recorded after it is signed by both parties, how soon does the granters name get removed from the title so that the title is now put into the grantees name?

@Retipster 2 года назад

It technically happens immediately after it's recorded, but the public information systems can take a while to get updated and reflect the change (anywhere from a few days to several months, depending on how slow the county's systems are).

If you've got an attorney handling this for you, I would imagine they've got you covered. Just make sure the deed actually gets recorded by the county, so the new owner is of public record and the property tax bills are sent to the right place.

@wasatchm 5 лет назад

can u answer a question? I purchased a townhome with an external garage 6 months ago. but I found out later I never got the deed to the external garage. but neither did the 2 owners before me. what appears to have happened, is the developer never transferred the title over to the first owner of the townhome (and so the second and third owners never got the deed either). however, 13 years later (about 4 months ago) the developer sold all the external garages to a storage rental company (LLC). the LLC bought all the external garages from the developer. so I was told by the LLC, get out....this is my garage. and when I check the county parcel records, sure enough the LLC did own the garage I thought was mine. now I get a call 2 weeks ago from a developer representative saying they will give me 10K to sign a QUIT CLAIM DEED on the garage. but the garage is probably worth twice that. QUESTION. does this external garage most likely have a CLOUD ON THE TITLE? also, is there anyway for the LLC to remove the cloud from this title without me signing the quick claim deed? I am bargaining with the developer to get the garage back (of course they would need to buy it back from the LLC and give it to me). so I would like to know how powerful of a position I am in when bargaining with them. my real estate agent tells me with the cloud on the title I am part owner of the garage even though the LLC has the title to it because they can't really do anything with it (like sell it or even rent it out). I know there are ways in court to QUIET A TITLE but I don't know that it would apply in an instance like this.

@Retipster 5 лет назад

Wow, that sounds like a messy situation. When you bought the property, did you close with a title company or attorney and get title insurance? This is precisely what title insurance is for. If you (and the previous owners) didn't, then the only way to clear up the title would be to do a quiet title action... however, if someone else is actively fighting for their claim to the property, that process will most likely NOT be cut-and-dry (and honestly, it probably wouldn't even work). It sounds like you should talk with a legal professional in your area to find out what your options are. Sorry to hear about this - sounds like a nightmare!

@wasatchm 5 лет назад

my contract didn't include the garage. my agent blew it and didn't catch that. there is no reference in the closing documents or title documents to the external garage. the MLS listing mentioned the external garage was included but that was it. I am the 3rd owner. BUT, the 1st owner of the townhome did have a contract that included the external garage. he is the one that never got the title deeded over to him and it carried over to the second and third owners. my agent seems to think since the first contract of the first buyer included the townhome, then that also applies to the second and third owners (not sure that is true as he does want someone else to be liable for my potential loss instead of him).

@wasatchm 5 лет назад

so, is it possible the FIRST OWNER CLOUDED THE TITLE (took some sort of action to cloud the title). I know I didn't and I don't think the second owner did.

@Retipster 5 лет назад

@@wasatchm - based on what I'm hearing, it doesn't sound like you have a very solid case for keeping that garage (if it wasn't in the deed or the purchase agreement). MLS listings have incorrect information all the time (and they even have disclaimers at the bottom saying the information isn't guaranteed), so I don't think that alone will give you much of a leg to stand on, unfortunately.

@Retipster 2 года назад

Not legal advice, but I believe it's just a way for the grantor (seller, or person transferring the property) to say, "Anything I own in this property, if anything, I'm now being transferring to the grantee." It can be used for a lot of different reasons (transferring full ownership, partial ownership, or even to clear up any confusion about who _might_ own a portion of a property, even if they don't own anything).

your explanation is very clear but the whole quitclaim thing is a joke. It does not clarify how to transfer ownership of a property between a divorcing couple. If a husband wants to give up ownership and transfer it to the wife, the quitclaim form asks to fill out the grantor's spouse information, which makes the form meaningless. So confusing.
