What Is a Texas Quitclaim Deed?
A quitclaim deed in the state of Texas is a legal document that is used to convey property from an owner to a buyer.These documents transfer the ownership rights to a property with no warranty or guarantee that the title is clear and free of encumbrances.
These types of transfers are common in transactions between family members. You should conduct a title search of public records through a title company before purchasing a property via a quitclaim deed to ensure that there are no title defects, unknown easem*nts, or encumbrances on the property.
If you instead want to transfer property in a way that protects the new owner, you should consider different types of deed, such as a general warranty deed or a special warranty deed. If you're unsure what type of deed to use, you should seek legal advice from a real estate attorney.
