  • Legally Transfer Property with a Quitclaim Deed

    Using a quitclaim deed is a common and simple way to transfer property.  It conveys whatever interest you have in a piece of property without making any promises about the type of interest you’re conveying.

    Use a QuitClaim Deed to:

    • transfer property to or from a revocable living trust
    • transfer property to one spouse as part of a divorce
    • clarify any ambiguity about inherited property-- for example, by giving up potential rights to inherited real estate
    • settle uncertainties about other kinds of claims -- for example, by relinquishing the rights to an easement
    • transfer one co-owner’s interest to another co-owner  -- for example, when one co-owner buys out another
    • transfer part of your interest to a new co-owner -- for example, by transferring property you own by yourself into shared ownership with someone else
    • change the way owners hold title to the property -- for example, by transferring title from joint tenants to tenants in common, or the other way around.

    With instructions written in plain English and a checklist to help you keep track of the steps necessary to prepare and file a legally valid quitclaim deed in your state, this legal form from Nolo’s experts will guide you through your property transfer, all while saving you time and money.
