Quit Claim Deeds

Quit claim deeds are often used in cases of divorce during the division of assets. They are a type of real property deed in which the owner of property such as land, a building, or a house transfers his or her portion of the interest or the entire property to another individual.

Quit claim deeds are an easy way to quickly give one spouse an asset in the settling process. This asset is typically the shared family home.

Quit Claim Deed Reversal

Once a quit claim deed is signed, it is very difficult for the grantor to reverse the deed and get the property back. Exceptions to this include:

If the grantee (often the divorced spouse) is willing to give the property back by signing another deed transfer: Because of the volatile nature of many divorces, this rarely occurs.

If the deed is proven to be invalid: A deed can be proven invalid if there is proof that the deed was signed under extreme external pressure or that the grantor was forced into signing the deed by false information given by the grantee or his or her lawyer.

While quit claim deed can be a useful tool during divorce settlements, they should not be undertaken lightly.
