A Massachusetts quitclaim deed transfers ownership of a piece of real estate from a grantor to a grantee with limited assurances. These assurances, known uniquely in Massachusetts as “quitclaim covenants,” state the property title is free of encumbrances caused during the grantor’s ownership. However, they do not warrant against previous title defects.
