A Louisiana Quit Claim Deed is an official legal instrument that conveys (transfers) a property’s title from a party or entity known as the “Grantor” to a party called the “Grantee(s)”. The form is notable in comparison to other deed types in that the Grantor cannot use the document to make any guarantees about whether the property has a clean title. Because of this, the form type is almost exclusively used amongst family and friends. Although other form types offer more security, if the parties trust each other, using a quit claim deed is 1) cheaper, 2) faster to complete, and 3) easier to execute.
