Quitclaim Deed

Georgia

Asked on Oct 1, 2023

Are there risks in accepting a quitclaim deed?

I recently inherited a property from my aunt and I am considering transferring ownership to my cousin using a quitclaim deed. I have heard that there are some risks associated with this type of deed, and I wanted to make sure that I understand all of the potential implications before making a decision. I am looking for advice on how to proceed in a way that is most beneficial for all parties involved.

Bobby H.

Answered Oct 20, 2023

There are generally three broad categories of deeds mostly used to convey property in Georgia, depending on certain warranties, or the lack thereof, contained therein. These categorizes include warranty deeds, limited warranty deeds, and quitclaim deeds. In a warranty or general warranty deed, the grantor generally warrants title, and promises to defend the grantee against third party title claims that either arose, or which are based on events occuring at anytime during the grantor's ownership of the property OR the ownership of any of the grantor's predecessors in title. In a limited warranty deed, a grantor generally warrants and promises to defend the grantee against title claims which arose, or which are based on events occuring during the grantor's ownership only. A quitclaim deed generally contains no warranties. Therefore, the grantee or transferee of a quitclaim deed has little to no recourse against the grantor if there is an issue with the title to the property based on the deed alone. Quitclaim deeds are often used when there is little or no money being exchanged for the property such as when there is a transfer of family property, between family members or where property is gifted.

Quitclaim Deed

Georgia

Asked on Sep 30, 2023

What is a quitclaim deed?

I recently inherited a property from a family member and I was told it was transferred to me through a quitclaim deed. I am not familiar with this type of deed and would like to know more about it, including what rights and responsibilities I have as the recipient of this deed. I have also heard that quitclaim deeds can be used to transfer property from one person to another, so I would like to know more about what this process entails.

in theory, any writing in which an owner intends to transfer propery that is adquatedly described and delivered to the transferee may function as a deed. However, in practice, you will find there are generally three broad categories of deeds mostly used to convey property in Georgia, depending on certain warranties, or the lack thereof, contained therein. These categorizes include warranty deeds, limited warranty deeds, and quitclaim deeds. In a warranty or general warranty deed, the grantor generally warrants title, and promises to defend the grantee against third party title claims that either arose, or which are based on events occuring at anytime during the grantor's ownership of property OR the ownership of any of the grantor's predecessors in title.

Quitclaim Deed

Georgia

Asked on Sep 30, 2023

When to use a quitclaim deed?

I recently inherited a piece of property from a family member and I am looking to transfer ownership to another family member. I am not sure if a Quitclaim deed is the correct way to do this, and I am seeking legal advice to understand when to use a Quitclaim deed in this situation.

Bobby H.

Answered Oct 20, 2023

Notwithstanding any statory formalities required for purposes of recording in the public records, in theory, any writing in which an owner intends to transfer propery that is adquatedly described and delivered to the transferee may function as a deed. However, in practice, you will find there are generally three broad categories of deeds mostly used to convey property in Georgia, depending on certain warranties, or the lack thereof, contained therein.

In a limited warranty deed, a grantor generally only warrants and promises to defend the grantee against title claims which arose, or which are based on events occuring during the grantor's ownership. A quitclaim deed generally contains no warranties. Therefore, the grantee or transferee of a quitclaim deed has little to no recourse against the grantor if there is an issue with the title to the property based on the deed alone. Generally, in circumstances where there is a transfer of family property, between family members, in which no money is being exchanged, a quitclaim deed is fine. However, there may be certain tax consequences if the family member were to later resale the property. He/she may want to consult a tax professional prior to do so.

Mortgage Agreement

Georgia

Asked on Jun 28, 2022

Which court document shows the mortgagee?

Just asking

Howard B.

Answered Aug 9, 2022

To be clear, the mortgagor is the person taking the loan and giving the creditor a security interest in real property. The mortgagee is the creditor, typically a bank. Which court document depends on what type of proceeding you are involved in. If you are asking about a foreclosure action, the mortgage instrument is typically filed with the petition/complaint initiating the action. However, I'm an Oklahoma attorney, not a Georgia attorney, so I don't know if the same requirement applies to filings in your state. However, that's what is typical. The problem is that the loan is often sold, so the promissory note and the mortgage are assigned to other companies. The manner in which that happens varies by state. There might be attachments showing the documents were assigned to other financial institutions who presumably bought the note and mortgage. Those are usually pages attached to the back of the mortgage agreement. Also, there is a company called the Mortgage Electronic Registration, Inc. ("MERS") that tracks ownership of loans without making a separate assignment each time a loan is transferred from one financial institution to another. In a MERS case, there is typically a statement from MERS, often in a long legalese document called an affidavit. Somewhere in that affidavit, it likely says who the present owner is. Alternatively, the affidavit simply verifies that some other document is a true copy of their business records, and THAT document will have the mortgagee information. For more detailed information, you will need to take whatever documents you have and whatever case information you have (especially the case number) to an attorney in the state where the property is located, preferably in the county where the property is located. Good luck!
