West Virginia quit claim deed allows a grantor to release their claim to a property and to name a grantee as the new owner, without providing any title warranties. Unlike in a warranty deed, the grantee is not assured that the title is free of claims and will need to resolve any issues that arise after deed recordation.

While quit claim deeds may not seem practical for homebuyers, they are useful when warranties are not vital or required. For instance, parties who are closely acquainted, such as family members, might not consider guaranteeing a title’s condition necessary and may execute a property transfer with a quit claim deed for simplicity’s sake.
