How to Create a Quit Claim Deed

[@RSTI191]

This is one most informative, plain & simple language videos I have watched on You Tube. Well Done...

[@Retipster]

Thanks for the kind words! That's great to hear!

[@jerseysama]

gosh darnet! this is easy. ask three people, three different answers! Seems like this is the right way. much apprciation. subscribed.

[@Retipster]

Thanks Jay! Glad it was helpful.

[@danieltku]

Very good explaination on the quit claim deed. I went to many website to look for this type of information but came up empty after few hours of search. Much appreciated for this video. Thxs.

[@Retipster]

I'm glad to hear that! Thanks for the kind words!

[@levilenoxx6175]

Wow I was going to pay an attorney to fill this out for me and he was going to charge me $2900 but I ended up doing it myself this week and save that money

[@dextercope3214]

Thank you for the link to Rocket Lawyer, that helped me out so much!

[@Retipster]

I'm glad it helped! Thanks for watching!

[@MicahSpivey]

Do you have to put a dollar amount or can it be zero dollars? I’ve also noticed on the quit claim deed that I have that there is a grantor signature but no place for the grantee to sign, is this correct?

[@taja0818]

I had my ex removed using a quit claim deed in 2017. It was filled out incorrectly and the Married box was checked. We was not married at the time but now in 2021 I am refinancing my home but the title search company stated we need to correct this information. They advise just redo the quitclaim deed but as of 2020 this person has a restraining order against me so I can not contact this person. The records depart advise I submit a affidavit but I am not sure how. Will the affidavit solve my issue so the title company and bank can move forward with my loan?

[@taniekingdom-medzchats]

Thank you for this, absolutely clear and precise info blessings & peace to you!

What if you are transferring a property to a friend, not family, can you use this? All in Ny

[@lizandersen3510]

Thank you this is really clearing ups a lot of the mud!!! It's like you said when you've never done some these forms a lot of it does not make sense.

[@AllThingsRamdom]

if the grantee is married do you have to put married or can you put single. I want to go do that and if I put the grantee is married at automatically tries to make me put their spouse in as well. I'm trying to transfer it over to my wife's name and I don't want it in my name at all but if I go to transfer and put her as married it automatically tries to make me be attached to it since I'm her husband. I don't live in a communitive law state either.

[@Retipster]

Hmmm, interesting. I can see why the system is defaulting to include you, but it probably isn't accounting for these situations where one spouse is transferring all of their ownership to the other (which is odd, you'd think it would know how to handle this because it's not an uncommon thing). In any event, you should be able to download the final document as a word document, and then you can edit yourself out as the grantee.

[@ericcayetano3375]

Amazingly Easy .. Appreciate The Info Bro!

@Retipster do you have a video for a business to business quickclaim deed?

[@Retipster]

Not beyond this video above. Have you tried creating it with Rocket Lawyer yet? They should be able to handle that scenario, I would think: retipster.com/go/rl-quitclaimdeed/yt-8k4Btnk1INA and if they can't for some reason, US Legal has QCD templates for everything scenario you can imagine: retipster.com/go/deeds/yt-8k4Btnk1INA

[@gabrieldominguez1456]

Hi , What should I do first to buy a house with quit claim deed sale?

[@angelsbeautymark4916]

We for the first time are doing a quit claim purchase only because it is family & we had a title search cleared.Also we are having an attorney do it for us to be safe.My question is there another step through. County court?

[@Retipster]

If you've got an attorney handling this for you, I would imagine they've got you covered. Just make sure the deed actually gets recorded by the county, so the new owner is of public record and the property tax bills are sent to the right place.

[@wildimpo]

Good info, so what do you do with the form once it's filled out?

[@littlepinkdalia6945]

You should bring them to the Public records office

[@christopherfarrell9574]

Once I complete the template for the quit claim deed and have it notarized and have the new owner sign it. What do I do with the current deed I have as the owner ? Thanks

[@Retipster]

The new owner doesn't need to sign the deed; only the seller signs it. You don't need to do anything with the previous deed. As long as it has been recorded at the county, it's part of their permanent public record. The most recent deed is the owner on title, whether they have a hard copy of the deed or not.

[@christopherfarrell9574]

@Retipster So once I complete the quit claim deed and hand it to them and they give me a cashiers check, they will take the quit claim deed and have it recorded to have it transfered into their name? Just trying to figure out the process. Thanks

[@DejaBrown-c4z]

Hello, if i transfer my 30% interest to my spouse that we own together, will that sever the joint tenancy we hold with the other interest owners on the property?

[@AnytthinggGoes]

So once the quit claim deed is recorded after it is signed by both parties, how soon does the granters name get removed from the title so that the title is now put into the grantees name?

[@Retipster]

It technically happens immediately after it's recorded, but the public information systems can take a while to get updated and reflect the change (anywhere from a few days to several months, depending on how slow the county's systems are).

Can I use a Quitclaim to add my wife to my deed. I purchased before we were married. In California Thanks

[@rayfarrell9482]

Seth Williams but why does it ask $ instead of %? In amount to transfer? Would an interspousal deed be better?

Seth Williams got it. Thanks. Just subscribed

[@DeepBoxGames]

What was the answer? I’m going through the same thing but Texas

[@B1GJOHNSTUD]

what's the answer?

[@12vLife]

But it's easy enough to prove that I am the rightful over of a property on the county site and that there are no back taxes or liens.... I want to sell a cheap vacant lot for $1900 via quickclaim deed since not worth paying for closing costs or property insurances. Any value in having a notary stamp the sales documents? Fair to ask buyer to meet me at the bank and transfer funds BEFORE the property is signed over?

[@celiacastro4566]

What u selling? State?

[@drbrycedavis]

Can you get a warranty from the previous owner if you purchased the property at a tax sale?

[@chiefwillyj5486]

No you would have to get it through the County... Yet the Tax Sale is Unconstitutional... Unless the Former Owner had a Contract with that County... Without a contract no one's has a duty to Perform.

[@PanamaSticks]

What happens if my siblingS are transferring the property to me? (They each own one fifth, including me.). Do I need to create a quit claim for each? When entering the value of the property, is it the value of the property divided by Five?

[@getyurassouttahere]

Did you ever get an answer? I'm in the same situation, my parents are deceased, I'm one of 5 kids, they had designated which kid inherited each piece of property. I was going through a divorce at the time and didn't take care of business by transferring the property they left me. There isn't any dispute by any of my siblings about my part, thankfully. But I'm not sure what I need to get the property recorded in my name.

[@JJ-dw3vu]

How did you end up going about this? Hope it all went smoothly for you!

[@PanamaSticks]

I'm sorry. I can't remember exactly. But i believe there was one quit claim deed signed by all my siblings.@@getyurassouttahere

[@felixadegelu5598]

Can i use a quit claim deed for subject to existing mortgage?

[@wasatchm]

can u answer a question? I purchased a townhome with an external garage 6 months ago. but I found out later I never got the deed to the external garage. but neither did the 2 owners before me. what appears to have happened, is the developer never transferred the title over to the first owner of the townhome (and so the second and third owners never got the deed either). however, 13 years later (about 4 months ago) the developer sold all the external garages to a storage rental company (LLC). the LLC bought all the external garages from the developer. so I was told by the LLC, get out....this is my garage. and when I check the county parcel records, sure enough the LLC did own the garage I thought was mine. now I get a call 2 weeks ago from a developer representative saying they will give me 10K to sign a QUIT CLAIM DEED on the garage. but the garage is probably worth twice that. QUESTION. does this external garage most likely have a CLOUD ON THE TITLE? also, is there anyway for the LLC to remove the cloud from this title without me signing the quick claim deed? I am bargaining with the developer to get the garage back (of course they would need to buy it back from the LLC and give it to me). so I would like to know how powerful of a position I am in when bargaining with them. my real estate agent tells me with the cloud on the title I am part owner of the garage even though the LLC has the title to it because they can't really do anything with it (like sell it or even rent it out). I know there are ways in court to QUIET A TITLE but I don't know that it would apply in an instance like this.

[@Retipster]

Wow, that sounds like a messy situation. When you bought the property, did you close with a title company or attorney and get title insurance? This is precisely what title insurance is for. If you (and the previous owners) didn't, then the only way to clear up the title would be to do a quiet title action... however, if someone else is actively fighting for their claim to the property, that process will most likely NOT be cut-and-dry (and honestly, it probably wouldn't even work). It sounds like you should talk with a legal professional in your area to find out what your options are. Sorry to hear about this - sounds like a nightmare!

[@wasatchm]

my contract didn't include the garage. my agent blew it and didn't catch that. there is no reference in the closing documents or title documents to the external garage. the MLS listing mentioned the external garage was included but that was it. I am the 3rd owner. BUT, the 1st owner of the townhome did have a contract that included the external garage. he is the one that never got the title deeded over to him and it carried over to the second and third owners. my agent seems to think since the first contract of the first buyer included the townhome, then that also applies to the second and third owners (not sure that is true as he does want someone else to be liable for my potential loss instead of him).

[@wasatchm]

so, is it possible the FIRST OWNER CLOUDED THE TITLE (took some sort of action to cloud the title). I know I didn't and I don't think the second owner did.

[@Retipster]

@@wasatchm - based on what I'm hearing, it doesn't sound like you have a very solid case for keeping that garage (if it wasn't in the deed or the purchase agreement). MLS listings have incorrect information all the time (and they even have disclaimers at the bottom saying the information isn't guaranteed), so I don't think that alone will give you much of a leg to stand on, unfortunately.

Thanks for the info. God bless u

[@cloudg7769]

Do I still use a quitclaim deed in a situation where my grandmother doesn't want to make a will and wants to give the deed to the house to my mother?

[@Retipster]

I can't really give you any legal advice on that (since I'm not a lawyer). Sorry!

[@stephanieccherry9123]

I'm not an attorney(and I offer NO legal advice), however, I am a paralegal that has conducted many title checks and prepared countless title opinions and deeds over the years, for attorneys. I CAN NOT ADVISE YOU LEGALLY as to what you should do, but I will tell you what I would do. I don't know what state you're in, but in my opinion, if your mother is the only child of your grandmother and there are no liens on the home, I would do it. She(your grandmother/the Grantor) would just be basically saying that she is giving any interest that she owns at the time of the quit-claim deed being executed to your mother(the Grantee). She's not making any warranty or guarantee that she actually owns it, even if she knows that she does. She's just basically transferring it out of her name and into your mother's, thereby removing herself from any ownership. That's why most of the time only relatives and in some cases, close friends and at some tax sales use them. As long as your grandmother owns it, then I would use a quit claim bc it's just easier and cheaper. You wouldn't need to hire someone to complete a full title check and prepare the warranty deed. Now, your grandmother can also retain whats called a "life estate" in it also, whereby she states that she will Iive there until her death and at that time it will become the property of the grantee. That's just to make sure she doesn't get kicked out. (It happens!) I hope this helps and didn't cause more confusion. If you have any more questions, I would contact a property attorney. I've found that most smaller attorney offices will give you free advice on the phone for simple matters, at least once. I worked for one that would. (If there are more children than just your mother, she should definitely contact an attorney in your state just to make sure that no one can contest the validity, just like they could a will). Laws vary so much from state to state and if you're in Louisiana, you might as well be on the moon bc their laws are completely different from any other state.

[@BonjourTwice]

This is great! Saved me $250 from LegalZoom

[@celiacastro4566]

What’s that?

[@satinderk13]

This form does not include important legal wording of "Joint Tenants with Right of Survivorship" for adding Spouse.

[@Retipster]

That wording varies by state (some states don't even recognize JTWROS). If it's not spelled out clearly, this usually defaults to a statutory standard (not an attorney, not legal advice).

[@ostabbender3282]

I do not like people making a video with many "I do not know" If you do not know do not make a video. The KZbin platform is designed for people to share experiences not speculation. Many people abuse it and come with "I do not know but I will Say" REtipster is one of them.

[@Lmtaytay]

What do you do with the deed once it's filled out? File it with the county?

[@Retipster]

Yep, you'd send it to the County Recorder (or Register of Deeds) along with the fees required to get the document recorded.

Isnt it called a Quick Claim Deed?

[@glowupgirl1693]

No its what he said.. quit claim. The seller is "quitting" their claim on the property and transferring whatever ownership/rights they have over to the buyer.

[@davidjin8147]

your explanation is very clear but the whole quitclaim thing is a joke. It does not clarify how to transfer ownership of a property between a divorcing couple. If a husband wants to give up ownership and transfer it to the wife, the quitclaim form asks to fill out the grantor's spouse information, which makes the form meaningless. So confusing.
