A quitclaim deed is a document that transfers any interest you may have in a particular piece of property. If you have no interest, the quitclaim deed will transfer no interest. If you own the property outright, the quitclaim deed will transfer that ownership interest to the grantee. However, a quitclaim deed does not promise or represent to a grantee that you have any interest in the property.
