What does a quitclaim deed typically allow for?

A quitclaim deed is specifically designed to transfer whatever interest the grantor has in a property to the grantee without any warranties or guarantees regarding the title. This means that if the grantor does have a claim or ownership of the property, it is transferred; however, if there are any existing disputes or issues with the title, those are not resolved with a quitclaim deed.

This deed is particularly useful in situations where the parties know each other well, such as between family members or in divorce settlements, and where the intent is to clear up any potential claims or disputes related to ownership without the grantor needing to affirm the validity of the title. Hence, the quitclaim deed is an effective tool for clearing title disputes because it removes ambiguities regarding ownership, which can be particularly important in informal transfers.

The other options relate to functions typically covered by different types of deeds or legal actions, such as warranty deeds providing assurances, construction access needing specific agreements, and lien clearance often requiring specific legal actions beyond what a quitclaim deed provides.
