Free Utah Quitclaim Deed

Use our Utah Quitclaim Deed to release your rights and ownership claims over property you’re selling or gifting.

Updated September 6, 2022 | Legally reviewed by Susan Chai, Esq.

A Utah (UT) Quitclaim Deed is a legal document that allows a property owner (seller or grantor) to transfer real property to a buyer (grantee).

It names the buyer and seller, the amount paid or consideration (if any), and the legal description of the property.

A quitclaim deed only transfers the grantor’s interests in a piece of real estate. It doesn’t create any warranties on the title, and whatever part of the land the grantor owns will transfer to the grantee.

This is unlike a warranty deed, which guarantees that the grantor has legal title and ownership of the real estate.

Utah quitclaim deeds are often used when transferring property within a family, putting property into a trust for estate planning, or removing a potential interest holder from the property.

A quitclaim deed is sometimes incorrectly called a “quit claims deed,” “quick claim deed,” or a “quit claim deed.”
