A Tennessee quitclaim deed is a legal document that conveys property from a seller to a buyer in an expeditious fashion. This document provides no guarantee that the property title is free of encumbrances and that the seller has the legal right to sell the property.
Quitclaim deeds are often used for property transfers between family members or in divorces where a certain property is transferred to one spouse as part of the divorce agreement.
Regardless of whether the property is transferred from a spouse or purchased from the county, it is recommended that the buyer conduct a title search to look for any potential problems after they receive ownership interest on the property.
If you instead want to transfer property in a way that protects the new owner, you should consider a different type of deed, such as a general warranty deed or a special warranty deed.
Tennessee quitclaim deed laws are codified at Tennessee Code § 66-5-103(2).
In the State of Tennessee, a quitclaim deed must be either notarized by a Notary Public or signed by the seller of the property in front of two witnesses (§ 66-22-101). Once one of these criteria has been met, the document must be filed with the Register of Deeds Office along with the proper filing fees (§ 66-5-106).
