A quit claim deed transfers
Submitted by elizabethcarlsen on
A quit claim deed transfers whatever ownership the grantor has to a piece of real property to the grantee. Unlike a warranty deed, a quit claim deed does not make any promises regarding the status of the title. To be valid, a quit claim deed must be recorded. In Georgia, the Superior Court Clerk has the duty of recording all land records. Therefore, contact the Superior Court Clerk in your county to determine where to file your quit claim deed. You will likely need to pay a fee at the time you file your deed, so ask the clerk ahead of time regarding the amount of the fee. For example, if you live in DeKalb County, visit http://web.co.dekalb.ga.us/clerk/faq.html, to obtain additional information regarding how to file your deed.
