What type of deed relinquishes any interest in property without warranty of title or interest?

A quitclaim deed is used to relinquish any interest in a property without providing any warranties regarding the title or the extent of that interest. This type of deed is particularly useful in situations where the grantor may not have full confidence in the validity of their claim to the property or in circumstances where formalities of a warranty or assurance of clear title are not necessary or desired.

For example, quitclaim deeds are often used among family members or in divorce proceedings where parties want to simply transfer ownership without going through the more stringent requirements of guaranteeing a clear title. Because a quitclaim deed does not warrant that the grantor has good title, it transfers whatever interest the grantor may have—be it complete, partial, or even none at all—without the guarantee of title that a warranty or grant deed would typically provide.

In contrast, a warranty deed offers comprehensive protection to the grantee by ensuring the property title is clear and free of encumbrances. A grant deed may provide some level of warranty, typically ensuring that the grantor has not previously transferred the property to someone else and that the property is free of undisclosed encumbrances, unlike the quitclaim deed.
