What is a Nevada Quitclaim Deed Used For?
A Quitclaim Deed is a legal instrument used to transfer interest in real property from one person or entity (the grantor) to another (the grantee). Unlike a Warranty Deed, a Quitclaim Deed provides no guarantees or warranties about the title. The grantor is simply transferring whatever interest they currently holdβif any.
Common uses in Nevada include:
- Transferring property between family members (e.g., parents to children).
- Adding or removing a spouse from a property title during marriage or divorce.
- Transferring property into a living trust or an LLC.
- Clearing up a "cloud" or uncertainty on a property's title.
The grantor's signature must be notarized for the deed to be recorded with the Clark County Recorder, which makes the transfer part of the official public record.

Quitclaim Deed: Transfers only the grantor's current interest, with NO guarantees against title defects. Offers the least protection to the grantee. Ideal for family transfers, gifts, or clearing title issues.
