What Is a Quitclaim?
A quitclaim deed is used to transfer an interest in real property. But while most deeds describe exactly what interest is being transferred, quitclaims don't do this. A person uses a quitclaim deed to assign to someone else all interest she may have in a piece of property, if any.
The best way to understand a quitclaim's effect is to compare it with other types of deeds. When a seller uses a warranty or grant deed, the deed describes the property interest being transferred. When the seller signs the deed, she guarantees that she owns that interest. These deeds list encumbrances (such as liens against the property) and guarantee that the list is complete.
Quitclaim deeds do not do any of these things. The seller doesn't specify her interest in the property or even guarantee that she has any interest at all. Nor does she list out encumbrances. Rather, she simply quits any claim she might have to any part of the property.
