Quitclaim Deed
A deed in which a grantor disclaims all interest in a parcel of real property and then conveys that interest to a grantee. Unlike grantors in other types of deeds, the quitclaim grantor does not promise that his interest in the property is actually valid. Quitclaims are often used when property is auctioned off to pay tax debts.
