About This Document

What Is a Quitclaim Deed?

A Quitclaim Deed transfers whatever ownership interest the grantor holds in a property to the grantee — with no warranties or guarantees about the title. It is the fastest way to convey an interest in real property and is commonly used between parties who know and trust each other, such as family members or divorcing spouses.

When You Need It

When to Record a Quitclaim Deed

You need a Quitclaim Deed when adding or removing a name from a property title, transferring property between spouses in a divorce settlement, conveying property to a living trust, or clearing a cloud on title. It is also used when a co-owner wishes to relinquish their interest in a property.

FAQ

Quitclaim Deed Recording FAQ

Does a Quitclaim Deed require title insurance?

Title insurance is not required for a Quitclaim Deed, but it may not be available since the deed provides no title warranties. Lenders typically will not accept a Quitclaim Deed as evidence of clear title for financing purposes.

Is a Quitclaim Deed valid in all 58 California counties?

Yes. A properly executed Quitclaim Deed is valid and recordable in all 58 California counties. eFileRecorder submits to any county you select.

Can a Quitclaim Deed transfer property with a mortgage?

A Quitclaim Deed can transfer title even if a mortgage exists, but it does not remove the mortgage obligation. The original borrower remains liable for the loan unless the lender releases them.

How long does Quitclaim Deed recording take?

Most Quitclaim Deeds submitted through eFileRecorder are recorded within 24-48 business hours.
