Title and transfer
Quitclaim deed
A deed conveying whatever interest the grantor has, with no warranties at all
It makes no promise that the grantor owns anything. That is precisely what makes it the standard tool for clearing a cloud on title — releasing a possible former spouse’s interest, an old easement claim, an heir’s potential share.
How the exam asks about it
Nobody accepts a quitclaim as the deed on a purchase at market value. Its questions are always about curing title, not about buying property.
