This is a legal question for which you should contact an attorney in your state. Basically, a quitclaim deed is a legal document that conveys the interest that a person (called the grantor) has in a piece of real property to another person or entity (called the grantee). A common use of quitclaim deeds is in a divorce proceeding. Exact procedures vary across states so, again, the assistance of a local attorney with real estate settlement expertise is highly recommended.
