Re: quick claim deed

You don't quitclaim someone else's property, you quitclaim your property.

If you quit claim your property to someone else, it can mean that the other person owns the property "lock, stock and barrell" but does not have to. The person executing the quit claim deed is transfering whatever his interets is in the property, so, if he does not own it already "lock, stock and barrell" then the other person would not own it outright. Only the interest owned is transfered. It is also transfered subject to any liens, easements and restrictions already in place.
