Description

It is not uncommon for a will to provide that a person be devised a life estate interest in mineral or royalty interests, and on the death of that person, the remainder of the interest to pass to another party. This deed form provides for the owner of a life estate, devised under a will, to quit claim that life estate interest to the owner of the remainder interest.

This type of deed is commonly used in estate planning to ensure a smooth transition of property ownership after the death of the life estate holder. In a life estate arrangement, the life estate holder retains the right to use and enjoy the property for their lifetime. Upon their passing, the property automatically transfers to the designated remainder man, often a family member or loved one, without the need for probate. The quitclaim deed is the instrument used to effectuate this transfer.
