Quitclaim Deed Hide Smart Field For Free

Disadvantages of Quitclaim Deeds A quitclaim deed is quick and easy because it transfers all of one person's interest in the property to another. However, a quitclaim doesn't make any guarantees about what that interest might be. The deed transfers all claims the seller has to the property, if any.

A quitclaim deed is a legal instrument that transfers the grantor's legal interest in a piece of real property to another person (the grantee).If a quitclaim deed is challenged in court, the issue becomes whether the property was legally transferred and if the grantor had the legal right to transfer the property.

Once a quitclaim is signed and recorded, can the deed be challenged in court? Yes, it can. Recording your deed only provides notice of your ownership claim to the public.

Generally, someone else cannot remove you from title without your consent and/or knowledge. You should speak to a local real estate attorney to see how to return your name to title and how it was removed in the first place.

Quitclaim deeds are most often used to transfer property between family members. Examples include when an owner gets married and wants to add a spouse's name to the title or deed, or when the owners divorce and one spouse's name is removed from the title or deed.

A quitclaim deed can be canceled due to the incompetency of the grantor as well. This also requires filing a lawsuit and asking a judge to rule that the grantor wasn't in her right mind at the time she signed the deed.

The drawback, quite simply, is that quitclaim deeds offer the grantee/recipient no protection or guarantees whatsoever about the property or their ownership of it. Maybe the grantor did not own the property at all, or maybe they only had partial ownership.
