Explanation
A quitclaim deed conveys whatever interest the grantor may have at the time of conveyance — no more and no less. If the grantor has no interest, the quitclaim conveys nothing. There are no title warranties of any kind. Quitclaims are often used to clear title clouds, transfer between family members, or correct defects.
