A Quit Claim Deed is one type of real estate deed used in Delaware to transfer real property rights. 25 Del. C. § 121 sets out the form for deeds in the state of Delaware. A quit claim deed passes no warranty of title, but merely conveys the grantor’s interest and rights, if any, in the property. The general statutory form includes the words “grant and convey” which imply covenants of warranty. In a quit claim deed, however, these words are replaced with "quit claim," and the correctly modified deed provides no guarantee of title. There remains, however, a good-faith expectation that the grantor is not aware of any other owners or title conflicts regarding the specific parcel of real property. In general, a properly executed and recorded quit claim deed provides no protection for the grantee against a future claim.
