If you want to 'do the deed' yourself, a quitclaim may be the easiest deed around. Some people mistakenly call it a 'quick claim' because it takes so little time to complete. Still, before you leap into the short process of pulling together a quitclaim, you'll want to understand what a quitclaim does and what it doesn't do. That is more difficult by far than filling out the deed form.
Quitclaims: A Shortcut Way to Transfer Interest
Buying or selling a real property interest is a serious business that affects your rights in the building or land. State laws regulate property transfer procedures, but buyers and sellers still have various deed options.
The go-to default deed in California real estate transfers is a grant deed by which a seller guarantees that he owns the interest he is selling and also that he has fully listed the encumbrances (like liens, loans and leases) currently on the property. Some other states use a warranty deed. It works like a grant deed but the seller also agrees to defend the buyer against anyone claiming an interest in the title.
Quitclaims make no guarantees. A person using a quitclaim to transfer property is simply assigning whatever interest he has in the property to someone else. He may not have any interest or he may own it free and clear, but a quitclaim deed doesn't say. Nor does a quitclaim make promises about what liens are attached to the property.
That means that quitclaims aren't the best deeds for every transaction. They are not generally used in third-party transactions (real estate transfers between strangers). However, they are the perfect deed to use for gifting property to family members or clearing up an ambiguity in a title.
Preparing a Quitclaim Deed
For a DIY quitclaim, you'll want to use a quitclaim form. Look on the internet for a form that works in your particular state. Try law library or court websites. For example, in California, you can easily find quitclaim deed forms at the Sacramento County Law Library website, as well as instructions for filling it in.
Filling out the deed requires three pieces of information: your identity, the identity of the person to whom you are giving the deed and the legal property description. Find the description on a property tax assessment or property tax bill.
Once you have filled in that information, go to a notary's office. Sign the deed before the notary and get the notary stamp or seal on the deed. Your next step is to file the deed with the appropriate government office. The exact office varies among states. In some states, it is the recorder's office. In others, it's the clerk of court's office or the registrar's office. In San Francisco, you file the original with the Office of the Assessor-Recorder at City Hall. You can hand-walk it in any weekday during office hours or mail it in. Don't forget cash, a checkbook or a charge card to pay the fees.
