Illinois Quit Claim Deed Form

An Illinois quit claim deed transfers property from a grantor to a grantee without assurances regarding ownership interest. Unlike a general warranty deed, a quit claim deed provides no guarantee that the grantor holds any part of the title of the property. Because of this lack of warranty, this deed is often reserved for transfers between trusted parties.
