What Is an Indiana Quitclaim Deed?
A quitclaim deed in the state of Indiana is a document that allows the owner of a piece of property to transfer their ownership interest to another in an expeditious manner. This type of transfer is done without any guarantees of clear title, or even that the seller has the legal authority to sell the property.
Quitclaim deed transfers are commonly used between family members, to transfer property to a living trust, or in a divorce settlement. A quitclaim deed can also be used between strangers. Regardless of the situation, a thorough property search should be conducted before finalizing a quitclaim deed.
Suppose you instead want to transfer the property in a way that protects the new property owner. In that case, you should consider a different type of property deed, such as a general warranty deed or a special warranty deed. If you are unsure of the type of deed you should use, you should seek legal advice.
Indiana quitclaim deed laws are codified at Indiana Code § 32-21-1-15.
Signing - Once the quitclaim deed is drafted correctly, the Grantor must sign the document in the presence of a Notary Public and have it notarized. (§ 32-21-2-3).
Recording - Once the document is notarized, it must be filed with the County Recorder’s Office in the appropriate jurisdiction, along with the proper fees.
