Quitclaim Deed in Divorce Transactions

Understanding Quitclaim Deeds in Divorce

A quitclaim deed transfers ownership interest in a property from one person to another. In divorce, it's often used when one spouse transfers their interest to the other, typically as part of a buyout or property division agreement. Dr. Jan Duffy helps ensure quitclaim deeds are handled correctly, coordinating with attorneys to ensure legal compliance and proper documentation.

How Quitclaim Deeds Work

A quitclaim deed transfers whatever interest the grantor has in the property to the grantee. It doesn't guarantee the grantor has clear title, but in divorce situations where both parties are on the deed, it effectively transfers one spouse's interest to the other.

When Quitclaim Deeds Are Used

Quitclaim deeds are commonly used in divorce when one spouse is keeping the home and buying out the other's share. They're also used when property is being transferred as part of a settlement agreement.

Legal Requirements

Quitclaim deeds must be prepared correctly and recorded with the county recorder's office. Dr. Jan Duffy coordinates with attorneys to ensure quitclaim deeds are handled properly and legally compliant.
