Create a Maryland Quit Claim Deed with our customizable template!
A Maryland quitclaim deed is a legal document used to transfer real property from the current owner to the purchaser or individual inheriting it. In contrast to a warranty deed, a quitclaim deed provides no guarantees on the title of the property. This document only transfers the ownership interest that the seller has to the buyer.
Although this document is often used for property transfers between family members, a title search of the land records should be done before the transaction is complete to avoid any unforeseen issues after the sale is complete.
If you'd instead like to transfer the property in a way that protects the new owner, you should instead look at a different type of property deed, such as a special warranty deed or general warranty deed.
According to state law, all quitclaim deeds must be signed by the individual selling the property in the presence of a Notary Public or officer of the court (§ 3-104). Once the document has been signed, it must be filed with a Maryland Land Intake Sheet to the office of the Clerk of the Circuit Court.
