A quitclaim deed in Connecticut is a legal document that transfers real property from one person to another. This method is expeditious. Unlike a warranty deed, it provides zero assurance to the buyer that the title of a property is free and clear of any encumbrances or tax issues. In a quitclaim deed transaction, the only thing that a buyer is assured of is that the seller is giving up his or her interest on the property and can no longer return later to claim interest on the house or land. As with any property purchase, it is highly recommended that the buyer conduct a title search at your local land records office before proceeding with the purchase or transfer.
A quitclaim deed is sometimes used to transfer property between family members, to a living trust, or to a business entity such as a limited liability company. If you are not sure which type of deed you should use, you should seek legal advice.
According to Connecticut State Law (§ 47-5a), a quitclaim deed must be signed by two witnesses and notarized by a Notary Public. Once this step is completed, and the quitclaim deed is notarized, it must be filed with the appropriate City or Town Clerk’s office. A list of all of Connecticut’s cities and towns can be found here.
