Quitclaim Deed
Florida
Quitclaim deed vs. title transfer?
I recently purchased a property and am in the process of transferring the title. I am trying to understand the difference between a Quitclaim deed and a title transfer. I am looking to make sure I am making the best decision for my situation when transferring the title of the property.
Linda W.
A Quitclaim Deed is a form of title transfer as is a Warranty Deed and a Special Warranty Deed. 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. A quitclaim deed makes no assurance that the grantor actually has an ownership interest in a property; it merely states that if the grantor does, they release those ownership rights. 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.

Residential Lease Agreement

Pets and residential lease agreements?
I am a tenant in a residential property and I am considering adopting a pet. The lease agreement does not specifically mention anything about having pets in the residence. I am looking to understand the legal implications of having a pet in the rental property and what my rights are as a tenant in this situation.
Paola R.
It depends on the type of premises(building) you reside. There are specific laws that are applicable even if the lease does not mention certain terms and provisions. Your rights as a tenant not only arise from the lease but also from certain laws. It also depends on the type of pet you are thinking of adopting, ie. service animal. I am a tenant’s attorney.

Quitclaim Deed

Obligations after receiving a quitclaim deed?
I recently purchased a home in a different state from the seller. The seller provided me with a quitclaim deed, but I am unsure of what my obligations are now that I own the property. I am concerned about potential legal issues that may arise and want to make sure I am taking the proper steps to protect both myself and the seller.
Bobby H.
Provided you have fully paid the purchase price, you should not have any further obligations as it relates to the Seller. This, however, may depend on whether there are specific terms in the sales agreement that survive the closing. Although your obligations as the new owner of the property to other persons largely depends on the state, in most, if not all states, you will be responsible for paying any taxes or assements to the state, county, or any municipality in which the propery is located subject to any qualifying exemptions. Also, most states impose a general duty on propery owners to avoid and/or discover and warn of certain risks of harm to any guests or persons invited by you to be present on the property depending on how the property is used (e.g., like whether the property is used for residential or commerical purposes). In some states, there may even be a similar, although limited duty to avoid or warn of certain risks of harm to trespassers on the property. A home or property owner's insurance policy will likely provide some protection with respect to the latter. Additionall, a quitclaim deed generally does not provide any protection for the purchaser if there's an issue with the title to the property. Therefore, an owner's title insurance policy may be advisable if you have not already obtained one.

Amending a purchase and sale agreement?
I am in the process of purchasing a property and have signed a Purchase and Sale Agreement. Since then, some of the terms of the agreement have changed and I would like to know if it is possible to amend the agreement to reflect the current situation. I would like to know the legal process and requirements for amending a Purchase and Sale Agreement.
Moss S.
You are best to have an attorney amend the agreement. Real estate agents are not allowed to draft language, only fill in forms.

What happens if a purchase agreement expires?
I recently entered into a purchase agreement for a property with a seller. The agreement had a specific timeline for when the purchase needs to be completed, but that timeline is quickly approaching and the purchase has not yet been completed. I am unsure of what happens if the purchase agreement expires and I would like to get more information from a lawyer on the potential implications of the agreement expiring.
Sarah S.
As long as you have an accepted offer the contract is valid and enforceable, regardless of the purchase agreement date; However, if there is a termination clause in the agreement or any language that might trigger termination after expiration, then the contract might be invalid. You need a lawyer to thoroughly review the contract.
Quick, user friendly and one of the better ways I've come across to get ahold of lawyers willing to take new clients.
