Adobe PDFAn Oklahoma quit claim deed is a legal form in which property rights are transferred with no guarantees or covenants on the part of the transferring party (the grantor). A grantor that transfers property through a quit claim deed will not be liable for liens, legal claims from previous owners, or other defects clouding the property title. The party receiving property (the grantee) is therefore at risk of accepting a defective title and should consider purchasing title insurance prior to the transfer.
Because a quit claim deed lacks title protection, it is most suitable for parties with a pre-established relationship. The document also serves as a quick way to remove a name from the property title or modify misspelled or inaccurate recording information.
