A Colorado quit claim deed allows a property owner (the “grantor”) to relinquish interest in a property to another party (the “grantee”) without any warranties of title. The grantee assumes all risk with this deed and can take no legal action against the grantor should any title issues arise. The quit claim deed is a convenient method to transfer property interest between trusted parties and to clean up title defects such as incorrect data entered on the original deed instrument.
To be recorded, the document should include the names of both parties, the property’s full legal description, and an acknowledgment from a notary public or other certified officer.
