If a grantee accepts a quitclaim deed are they inherently implying that the grantor has a legitimate claim to the land in the deed?
The grantee is only accepting what interest the grantor may own. A quitclaim deed conveys any interest the grantor has or may have. It does not guarantee that the grantor passes good title.
