Adobe PDFA Wisconsin quit claim deed is a transfer document for real estate wherein the grantor does not provide any warranty against title defects or encumbrances. Quit claim deeds are sought out when transferee protection is not needed, and efficiency is prioritized. They can be used to transfer a title without hassle or to add a new person thereto (e.g., a newly married owner adding their spouse to the title).
Another use of quit claim deeds is to cure title defects; for example, if a title was not properly surrendered by a previous grantor and the grantor’s spouse’s name is still on the title, the new owner may ask that the spouse’s interest be released through the execution of a quit claim deed.
