A warranty deed and a quit claim deed are both legal documents that can be used to transfer ownership of real property. A warranty deed can be used for most property transfers.A quitclaim deed can transfer ownership to a specific, trusted person. In a quitclaim deed, there are no guarantees or warranties to prove the grantor actually owns the property listed in the deed. In a real estate deal, a warranty deed offers the buyer a much higher level of protection than a quitclaim deed. While Quitclaim Deeds can only transfer real property, Gift Deeds can also transfer money and personal property. Quitclaim deeds are used to convey (or pass on) any interest that the grantor might possess in the property. A warranty deed does guarantee that the grantor has clear title to said property. A gift deed is used when you receive no money or compensation for the transfer. While a Warranty Deed guarantees a clear title to the property buyer, a Quitclaim Deed does not.
