Whether you’re gifting property, updating title records, or managing post-divorce ownership changes, we’ll handle the details—so you don’t have to worry about missing a critical step.

What Is a Quit Claim Deed?

A quit claim deed is a legal document that allows a property owner (the “grantor”) to transfer any ownership interest they have to another person (the “grantee”)—without guaranteeing that the title is free of other claims or liens.

Unlike a warranty deed, a quit claim deed doesn’t promise clear title. That’s why it’s best used in low-risk transfers, such as:

  • Gifting property to a child or family member

     

  • Adding or removing a spouse from a title after marriage or divorce

     

  • Transferring ownership into or out of a trust or LLC

     

  • Correcting errors or resolving minor title issues

     

Common Uses for Quit Claim Deeds
Family Transfers

Quit claim deeds are a cost-effective way to transfer property to a child, parent, or other family member—especially when there’s already trust between both parties.

Divorce & Property Division

When dividing property during divorce, a quit claim deed can remove one spouse from the title. We’ll make sure the transfer aligns with your divorce judgment and handle the legal documents.

Estate Planning Adjustments

Quit claim deeds are often used to move property into a revocable living trust, update ownership after the death of a co-owner, or resolve title errors in an inherited property.

Fixing Title Defects

We assist with clearing up old or incorrect title records—such as removing a deceased owner, fixing a misspelled name, or addressing outdated claims uncovered in a title search.

Why Legal Help Matters

Even though quit claim deeds seem simple, errors can lead to costly problems later—especially if there are multiple heirs, existing liens, or unclear ownership history. Our attorneys will:

  • Confirm that a quit claim deed is appropriate for your situation

     

  • Draft accurate legal documents tailored to Illinois laws

     

  • Ensure proper recording with the county recorder’s office

     

  • Coordinate with title companies when needed

     

  • Protect your interests and reduce legal risk
