Tennessee Quitclaim Deed from Individual to Individual
About this form
The Quitclaim Deed from Individual to Individual is a legal document that allows one individual (the Grantor) to transfer their ownership interest in a specific property to another individual (the Grantee). Unlike other types of deeds, a quitclaim deed does not guarantee that the Grantor holds clear title to the property. This form is typically used in situations where property is transferred between family members or close associates, making it distinct from warranty deeds that offer more protection to the Grantee.
What’s included in this form
- Identification of the Grantor and Grantee
- Description of the property being transferred
- Reservation of rights for oil, gas, and minerals, if any
- Warranties concerning existing rights-of-way, easements, and covenants
- Space for notarization to establish legal validity
Common use cases
This quitclaim deed is appropriate to use when transferring property between individuals where there is a relationship of trust, such as between family members. It is often utilized in divorce settlements, to clear up title issues, or to transfer property to a living trust. It is also suitable for quick transfers where legal assurances about title are less critical, such as gifting property or simplifying ownership changes.
