A warranty deed and a quit claim deed are both legal documents that can be used to transfer ownership of real property. Warranty deeds are the safer option when buying property versus simply transferring ownership.Most buyers will want this option. In a quitclaim deed, there are no guarantees or warranties to prove the grantor actually owns the property listed in the deed. A warranty deed can be used for most property transfers. A quitclaim deed can transfer ownership to a specific, trusted person. A quitclaim deed is a document that transfers whatever interest the grantor has in the property to the recipient. In the same way as a warranty deed, a quitclaim deed can provide ownership assurance but not the same level of ownership protection. A Warranty Deed provides many guarantees from the seller to the buyer. Quitclaim Deeds are used to transfer property ownership from nontraditional sales.
