Document background
The Quitclaim Deed With Right of Survivorship is primarily used when transferring property between trusted parties, such as family members or spouses. It combines the simplicity of a quitclaim deed with the benefit of automatic succession of ownership upon death. This document is particularly useful in estate planning and family property transfers within U.S. jurisdictions. Unlike a warranty deed, it offers no guarantees about the title's quality but provides a straightforward mechanism for property transfer while ensuring surviving owners automatically inherit the deceased's share without probate proceedings. The deed must be properly executed according to state law and recorded with the appropriate county recorder's office.
