A quitclaim deed is a relatively simple and easy way to transfer any and all interest you may have in a piece of real property to someone else. Unlike a warranty deed, there aren't any extensive (and potentially expensive) searches of property records, and in most cases you can complete the whole process yourself without having to hire an attorney. To fill out a quitclaim deed, all you need is information about the property and the person to whom you're transferring your interest, which you typically can use to fill in the blanks on a pre-printed form available from your county recorder.
