Quitclaim Deed – provides the grantee with the least protection; it contains no promises or warranties, and only conveys whatever title and interest the grantor has.

Quitclaim deeds are typically used to transfer property in non-sale situations, such as transfers of property between family members. Warranty Deed - makes a promise to the buyer that the seller has good title to the property. A quitclaim deed, on the other hand, makes no promises.
