A Washington, D.C. quitclaim deed is a document allowing a property’s owner (grantor) to transfer property to a new owner (grantee) without guaranteeing the title. This works best when the two parties know and trust one another, such as when adding a spouse to a deed or transferring property within the same family.
When someone wants a warranty on the title, they need to use a warranty deed. This uses different terminology and only applies when the deed’s title has been properly cleared.
