A South Carolina Quit Claim Deed is a legal document used to transfer ownership of real property from one person (the granter) to another (the grantee). It is typically used to transfer title to family members, or to remove a person’s name from the deed. The Quit Claim Deed does not guarantee that the granter owns the property, and does not provide any warranties against liens or other title defects. There are three types of Quit Claim Deeds in South Carolina: Joint Tenancy Quit Claim Deed, Tenancy in Common Quit Claim Deed, and Single Granter Quit Claim Deed. The Joint Tenancy Quit Claim Deed is used to transfer title to two or more persons, whereas the Tenancy in Common Quit Claim Deed is used to transfer title to two or more people as tenants in common. The Single Granter Quit Claim Deed is used to transfer title from one person to another. In order to be valid, all Quit Claim Deeds in South Carolina must be signed by the granter, notarized, and recorded with the county recorder’s office. The deed must also include the names of the granter and grantee, a legal description of the property, and the consideration (monetary amount) that was paid for the transfer of title.
