Which is better quit claim deed or warranty deed?

Quitclaim Deeds are used when the transfer of ownership in the property does not occur as the result of a traditional sale. Under a warranty deed, if it turns out that the property is not what the seller promised or there’s an uncleared lien or other block to the title, the buyer can sue the seller and recover damages.

Does a warranty deed mean you own the property?

The warranty deed transfers the property’s ownership from the current owner to the new buyer, while the deed of trust ensures the lender has interest in the property in the event a buyer defaults on the loan. However, they will both be filed as public records after the purchase is complete.

What happens if you sign a quit claim deed?

If the lender accepts your offer of a Quit Claim, you sign a document called a “Transfer” of title to your lender.
