Once a quitclaim deed has been signed and recorded, it cannot be undone as the previous property owner has already transferred the property to the new owner. The new owner would have to voluntarily give back the property to the original owner.

Why is it important to have a properly recorded deed? Once you sign your deed, your property is considered transferred from the seller to the buyer. However, in order for you to be covered to protect yourself from future claims on the title, you should record the deed.

A title is the legal right to use and modify the property how you see fit, or transfer interest or any portion that you own to others via a deed. A deed represents the right of the owner to claim the property. As opposed to the title, that describes who is the ultimate holder of the property.

The California quitclaim deed form gives the new owner whatever interest the current owner has in the property when the deed is signed and delivered. It makes no promises about whether the current owner has clear title to the property.

In California, the statute of limitations is five years. Any challenge to the quitclaim must be based on either a procedural error or on undo duress.

A quit claim deed should be filed with the Clerk of Court in the county where the property is located. This will involve taking the deed to the Clerk's office and paying the required filing fee (typically about $10.00 for a one-page quit claim deed).
