In New York, any person other than a minor, a mentally retarded person, or someone of unsound mind who is seized of or entitled to an estate or interest may transfer such interest or estate (RPP, Article 2-11). A quit claim deed in New York will suffice to transfer a grantor’s interest in real property. In any conveyance of real property, including a conveyance by quit claim deed, covenants are not implied, whether or not the conveyance contains any covenants (RPP, Article 8-251). Any instrument, including a quit claim deed that creates, transfers, assigns, or surrenders an estate or interest in real property must be construed according to the intent of the parties involved, so far as an intent that is consistent with the law can be gathered from the instrument (RPP, Article 8-240). In the New York statutory form of a quit claim deed, the words “together with the appurtenances and all the estate and rights of the grantor in and to said premises” is construed as meaning all the estate of which the grantor is lawfully possessed (RPP Article 8-255).
The statutory form of a quit claim deed, as presented in the laws of New York, Article 8-258 of the Real Property section, may be used in a conveyance in the state of New York. However, this statutory form does not prevent or invalidate the use of other forms. |
