Create a Rhode Island Quit Claim Deed with our customizable template!
A Rhode Island quitclaim deed is a document that transfers the interest of property from the seller (the Grantor) to the buyer (Grantee). In contrast to a warranty deed, which provides a warranty or guarantees that the property has a clear title, a quitclaim offers no warranty and comes with no guarantee that the property has a free and clear title. Due to this factor of uncertainty, it is highly recommended that the buyer conduct a title search to ensure that there are no encumbrances on the property.
A quitclaim deed is typically used to transfer property between family members, such as from spouses who hold property as joint tenants to property that is held as separate property by one spouse only.
If you instead want to transfer ownership interests in a way that protects a new owner, you should instead use a different type of deed, such as a general warranty deed or a special warranty deed. If you are unsure which type of property deed to use, you should seek legal advice.
Rhode Island Quit Claim Deed Laws are codified at Rhode Island General Laws § 34-11-17.
