Quitclaim Deed

The operative words to a Quitclaim Deed are, remove, surrender, release and quit the premises, which conveys the rights, if any, of a Grantor, without the portent of warranty, claim, or assertion of title by the Grantor.  A Quitclaim Deed, is the simplest form of deed, and conveys the least possible title protection.  The instrument is commonly implemented to clear “clouds” upon the title, such as a recorded agreement of sale, release of a life estate or contingent remainder.
