Maine Quitclaim Deed without Covenant

A Maine quitclaim deed without covenant is a document that is used to convey real estate from its current owner to another party without warranty. This type of deed does not guarantee that the title is free from third-party claims or that the grantor actually holds title. Therefore, it’s typically used to transfer property to family members or when there’s no consideration involved.
