The Nebraska Quit Claim Deed permits one party (called the “Grantor”) to sign over their interest in a property to another party (called the “Grantee”). It is the least complicated legal means of transferring property ownership. However, at the cost of being cheaper and simpler to complete, the assurances it offers Grantee(s) are very limited. Because of this, it is recommended that it is only used between those that know each other personally, such as family and friends.
