GLOSSARY TERM GUIDEBuild the complete exam definition
Learn the rule, separate it from the nearest distractor, then apply it to a Georgia fact pattern.
What does Quitclaim deed mean?
A quitclaim deed transfers whatever interest, if any, the grantor presently has in the property without covenants that the grantor owns the property or that title is free of defects.
How do you separate the nearest exam answer?
Quitclaim concerns absence of title warranties. It does not necessarily mean defective title or a transfer for no consideration.
What changes or stays the same in Georgia?
Georgia quitclaim deeds still require proper execution, delivery, and recording practices. The instrument can release a possible claim or clear a title issue.
A former spouse signs a quitclaim deed releasing any interest in property awarded to the other spouse.
The grantee receives no greater interest than the grantor actually had.

GLOSSARY TERM GUIDERetrieve the rule under exam conditions
Answer before reading the explanation. Then explain why every distractor belongs to a different term.
Marcus signs a quitclaim deed to a buyer for a parcel he thought he inherited outright. It turns out Marcus owned only a one-quarter interest. What does the buyer receive?
- A
Marcus's one-quarter interest, with no title warranties
- B
Full title, since Marcus signed and delivered a deed
- C
Nothing, since a quitclaim deed passes no ownership
- D
Full title, plus a warranty claim against Marcus
A quitclaim deed passes whatever interest the grantor actually has, without promising that the grantor owns anything or that title is clear. Marcus held a one-quarter interest, so that is what the buyer gets. Quitclaim deeds do convey real interests; they simply carry no title covenants.
