Which statement best describes a Quit Claim Deed?

• A. It transfers the grantor's interest without warranties of title
• B. It transfers the grantor's interest with warranties
• C. It conveys title with covenants of title
• D. It creates a mortgage lien against the property

Answer: (A)

A quit claim deed transfers whatever interest the grantor has in the property, if any, and contains no warranties about the title. This means there’s no promise that the title is clear, that the grantor actually owns the property, or that there are no liens or claims against it. That lack of title guarantees is what makes this type of deed distinct. It’s often used to move or clear up claims between family members or to correct title defects, but it offers the grantee little protection. It does not create a mortgage lien, and it does not convey title with covenants or warranties.
