Quitclaim Deed Remove Mandatory Field For Free

3 Disadvantages of Quitclaim DeedsNo guarantees to the new owner: Unlike a warranty deed, a quitclaim deed does not guarantee that a property is free from title defects such as tax liens or title claims from third parties.

Due to this, quitclaim deeds typically are not used in situations where the property involved has an outstanding mortgage. After all, it would be difficult for many grantors to pay off a mortgage without proceeds from the sale of the property.

The only way to forcibly change the ownership status is through a legal action and the resultant court order. However, if an owner chooses to be removed from the deed, it is simply a matter of preparing a new deed transferring that owner's interest in the property.

A deed of gift once executed and registered cannot be revoked, unless the mandatory requirement of Section 126 of Transfer of Property Act, 1882 is fulfilled.

If you draw up a valid quit claim deed and record it, you cannot "reverse" the transfer of property interest unless you prove to a court that it resulted from fraud or other illegal influence.

The biggest risk to using a quitclaim deed is that there are no guarantees of actual ownership, so you might not actually have a legal right to own the property. In a worst-case scenario, a grantor could transfer the property title to you and lie about being the true owner.

A quitclaim deed will remove the out-spouse (or departing spouse) from the title to the property, effectively relinquishing their equity or ownership in the home. The execution of a quitclaim deed is typically a requirement of a divorce settlement in order to complete the division of assets.
