What Is a Wisconsin Quitclaim Deed?

A quitclaim deed in the state of Wisconsin is a legal document for an expeditious property transfer without a guarantee or warranty that the title is clear and free of issues. Because of the unknown factors that come with the expeditious manner of a quitclaim deed, it is highly recommended that the buyer conduct a title search on the property before proceeding with a quitclaim deed transaction.

If you would instead like to transfer property in a manner that protects the new owner, you should consider a different type of deed, such as a general warranty deed or a special warranty deed.  If you are unsure what type of property deed to use, you should seek legal advice.
