Can a married couple quit clam property to one another being both the grantee and grantor?

No, a married couple cannot quitclaim property to one another, as they both have an existing legal interest in the property as spouses. However, they can transfer their interest in the property to a third party through a quitclaim deed. Alternatively, they may consider other types of property transfers, such as a warranty deed or a marital property agreement. Consulting with a lawyer is advisable for guidance in specific cases.
