The New Jersey Quit Claim Deed is a legal document that is used to transfer property between family friends, and those that know each other personally. It should only be used by those that can trust one another because it contains no warranties that the property is without conflicting interests. To use the form, the parties (known as the “Grantor” and “Grantee(s)”) need to enter their contact information (name, addresses) and details on the property. Only once all required sections have been completed can it be signed, acknowledged, and recorded.
