Texas 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) without any guarantees about the title. Unlike other types of deeds, a quitclaim deed does not assure that the Grantor has clear title to the property; it merely conveys whatever interest they may hold. This makes it distinct from general or special warranty deeds, which offer more protection for the Grantee.
