An Arkansas quit claim deed allows a grantee to receive a grantor’s interest in a property quickly, albeit without any warranty of title. The grantee will be unable to take legal action against the grantor if any encumbrances or other title issues come to light after deed execution. Though it is not recommended to use a quit claim deed for most real estate transactions, it is beneficial for clearing up title defects, in property transfers between trusted parties, and when adding or removing names on a title.
