A legal document establishing the ownership of any particular property is known as a deed. Quit claim deeds are one of many different kinds of deeds that serve different purposes, and they are used when a "grantor" allows their property to be transferred to another individual or entity. Grantors are basically people who own an interest in the property, and they have the legal right to sell the property, but they do not actually own the property in its entirety. Quit claim deeds allow the property to be sold, but leave the possibility for future property claims.
A quit claim does not grant complete claim protection for a property buyer. Instead, even though the property will be transferred to they buyer's (or grantee's) name, a quit claim does not legally shield the buyer from future disputes. This is due to the fact that the property is not actually owned by the grantor.
So why use a quit claim if they are not completely protected? Quit claim deeds are relatively simple and require significantly less paperwork. For those that want to give up their interest to a property simplistically, quit claims are ideal. Consider the possibility of several people gaining ownership of one property through a death in the family or some other will and testament, and perhaps only one of the parties actually wants the property. In this case, the other individuals can transfer title through a quit claim deed to the family member and receive direct compensation from them. In a situation like this, a quit claim deed can make everything much simpler. Other common uses of a quit claim deed are divorces and settlements. Especially when there is some other legally binding contract granting ownership to a specific individual, then title protection is not as vital.
If you are simply exploring the real estate market looking to buy a property from a complete stranger, a quit claim deed is not a good idea. This type of deed makes the buyer vulnerable to future disputes about the ownership of the property. For example, what if a family member sells a property, but later another family member claims ownership of a percentage of that property? Because the buyer only had a quit claim deed, they are subject to this dispute.
Quit claim deeds should only be used for extremely special scenarios that require a quick and simple title transfer, mostly for semantic purposes. As a real estate buyer or seller, you must be aware of the different types of deeds in order to protect yourself from potential risks.
