With surprising frequency, Texans seeking to transfer title to real estate without the assistance of an experienced real estate lawyer utilize Quitclaim Deeds (sometimes erroneously called "quick claim deeds"). Perhpas this is because of the wide availability of these forms on the internet, and in free databases. However, there are many pitfalls associated with using the Quitclaim Deed, and its limitations are plenty.
The essence of a quitclaim deed is an effort to pass any title, interest or claim of the grantor, but not professing that such title is valid, nor containing any warranty or covenants for title. See Porter v. Wilson, 389 S.W.2d 650, 655-56 (Tex.1965). A quitclaim deed is not a conveyance or a muniment of title. Adamson v. Doornbos, 587 S.W.2d 445, 447-48 (Tex.Civ.App.—Beaumont 1979, no writ).
By itself, a Quitclaim Deed does not establish any title in those holding the deed, but merely passes the interest of the grantor (if any) in the property.
Stated simply, a Quitclaim Deed suffices only to give the grantee whatever title that grantor has. If the Grantor has no title to the property interest in question, then none passes.
