Quit Claim Deed

When life changes, often your ownership in a property will change with it. You can use a Quit Claim Deed to transfer real property to a family member, former spouse or when you need to place property in a trust. With a Quit Claim Deed, you can make the change official. Once everything's settled, you can move in or move on for a new beginning.

Use a Quit Claim Deed if:

• You are passing your rights in a piece of property to a spouse or ex-spouse
• You are gifting your property to another person or family member
• You are transferring ownership in a property to a trust
• You are correcting the spelling of a name in a previous deed
• You are changing tenancy (how the property is owned) between owners
• You are clarifying if the property is community or separate property after marriage
• You own a business and you want to buy or sell real property.
