Re: deed
There is a huge difference. A security deed is what most of us sign in, e.g, a mortgage. It gives the lender an interest in the property but as long as you pay the mortgage they can't touch the property. A quitclaim deed transfers all your interest in the property. Since I don't understand why this issue has even come up, I would advise you to consult with a local attorney who can review all the pertinent documents.
