Each state has its own statutory requirements for quitclaim deed forms. These requirements determine the content or text that is in the deed.

Quitclaim deeds must meet statutory conditions for content and format. In addition, many local recording authorities add requirements for margins, paper size, property identification, and many other details. If a deed form is not in accordance with both the local and state standards, there may be additional fees charged for recording or the form may be rejected altogether.

A quitclaim deed is a real estate document used to transfer a person's interest in real estate to another person. It is generally a written document that transfers the title (ownership) of real property such as a home or piece of land. This document is sometimes incorrectly referred to as a quick claim deed.

A quitclaim deed offers no warranties or guarantees that the owner has good title or ownership, but simply conveys whatever interest exists when the deed is executed (transferred) and delivered. This type of real estate deed only transfers whatever interest the grantor has at the time of execution of the deed. A quitclaim deed does not warrant or guarantee that the grantor has any interest in the property.

This type of real estate deed is commonly used during divorce as a way of transferring real estate title from one spouse to the other as ordered by the court or divorce settlement.

Transfers between family members can also be accomplished easily by using a quitclaim deed. This often includes estate planning and other familial real estate transfers.

The quitclaim deed contains no warranties. For this reason, it is not advisable to accept this type of deed when purchasing real estate from an unknown party. The quitclaim deed does not warrant or imply that the grantor is the owner or has any interest in the property being transferred. Because of this, the grantee would have little to no recourse against the seller if the grantee accepted this type of deed.

Title companies often require quitclaim deeds in order to clear up what they consider to be a cloud on the title prior to issuing title insurance.

Lenders may require someone, such as a spouse, who is not going to be on a loan to complete and record a quitclaim deed prior to funding the loan in order to secure their position in the chain of title to the property.
