Which type of deed provides no warranties or guarantees regarding the title?

A quitclaim deed is a type of deed that conveys whatever interest the grantor has in the property, but it does so without any warranties or guarantees about the title's validity. This means that the grantor is not promising that they hold clear title to the property, nor are they assuring that there are no other claims or liens against it. As a result, if issues arise after the transfer, the grantee has no recourse against the grantor since no promises were made regarding the state of the title.

On the other hand, a warranty deed provides comprehensive assurances as it guarantees that the grantor holds title and has the right to sell it, along with protections against claims. A grant deed usually includes some level of warranty, but it is less comprehensive than a warranty deed, typically assuring that the grantor has not transferred the title to another person and that the property is free from undisclosed encumbrances. A special warranty deed, like a warranty deed, provides some protections, but only covers the time during which the grantor owned the property.

The quitclaim deed is primarily used in situations where the parties know and trust each other, such as transfers between family members, because it simplifies the transaction without the complexities of guarantees about the title
