Adobe PDFA Nebraska quit claim deed is a legal document that transfers real estate ownership without any assurances or covenants to warrant the property title. Quit claim deeds offer no guarantee that the person transferring ownership (the grantor) is the property’s current title holder, nor do they promise that the title is free and clear of encumbrances. As such, the form is best suited for low-risk transactions wherein the parties are well-acquainted, such as divorce settlements or transfers from a parent to a child. Deeds in Nebraska must contain the grantor’s notarized signature and be recorded by the Register of Deeds.
