A quitclaim deed is the opposite of a warranty deed in that the grantor is transferring title to a piece of property but is not warranting that they have good title to that property. A quitclaim deed only transfers whatever interest that the grantor has in the property at the time of the conveyance.
It's safer to use a warranty deed any time you are not entirely sure of your or someone else's ownership stake in any property. If you are transferring a property to your child or to a revocable trust agreement as part of an estate plan, then a quitclaim deed could do the trick.
A Quit Claim Deed transfers the property without any warranties or guarantees about the title, while a Deed of Gift transfers the property as a gift and typically includes warranties about the title and ownership.
Quitclaim deed transfers are ideal for: transferring property interest between family members, such as a parent to a child.
What Is the Strongest Type of Deed? For real estate buyers, a general warranty deed provides greater protection than any other type of deed. While it's the best deed for the grantee, it gives the grantor the most liability.

General warranty deed It's the type of deed that offers the most buyer protection. When committing to a general warranty deed, the seller is promising there are no liens against the property, and if there were, the seller would compensate the buyer for those claims.
Moreover, a quitclaim deed does not convey any after-acquired title.
In summary, a quitclaim deed may not be suitable in situations where there is uncertainty about ownership, when a buyer wants protection against potential title issues, when obtaining a mortgage or refinancing, or in certain real estate transactions that require more guarantees and protections.
A quitclaim deed is only valid if both parties willingly performed the property transfer. If there is evidence that the grantor was coerced into filing the quitclaim against their will, this is grounds to revoke it.
