An Illinois quit claim deed is a quick way to transfer property from a grantor to a grantee without assurances regarding title quality. Unlike the general warranty deed, a quit claim deed provides no guarantee to the grantee that the title is free of liens or encumbrances. This is the riskiest form of title transfer for the grantee and should be reserved for transactions between parties that know and trust each other. This deed is commonly used to add or remove names to a title, for example, newly married or recently divorced parties, or to clear up certain title defects.
