You need to consult with an attorney who specializes in probate and real estate law in your area. Deeds recorded after the death of the grantor can create title problems. There may be different practices in different jurisdictions. A title company may require some declaratory action to quiet title before it will issue any policies on the property. That means the expense of a court action that results with a court order recorded in the land records.
The term is actually "quitclaim", not "quick claim". The document must be signed, notarized and recorded and the recorder's office to be valid. It must contain the address of the property and a legal discription. It basically means "what interest I have in the property, I convey to you". This is not as good as a grant deed, which conveys a warranty of title. Consult a local attorney familar with the laws of your state for further assistance.
A quitclaim deed is a legal document used to transfer ownership of a property without any guarantee of title. It simply means that the person transferring the property is giving up their claim to it, without promising that they have clear ownership. This type of deed is often used in situations like a divorce, between family members, or to clear up any potential issues with the title.
To actually have the process take place? It depends on the speed and efficiency of the Clerk's Office. You can probably request expedited handling if it's THAT important.
A quitclaim deed is enforceable against the grantor the moment it is executed and delivered to the grantee.
It should be signed by the grantor exactly how their name is written in the granting clause and exactly the same way by which they took title. It should be witnessed and notarized.
No, but you will need to prove that.

The grantee is the new owner until they transfer the property to someone else by executing a new deed.No. The grantor on a quitclaim deed transfers ownership to the grantee by virtue of 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. By acceptance of the deed the grantee accepts those conditions. If the grantee wants to determine the status of the title conveyed by the deed she/he must have the title to the property examined by a professional.
Just above the line that should either say your name or the word "Grantor"
If the owner didn't sign the quitclaim deed then the deed is invalid.
A quitclaim deed is a legal instrument by which the owner of a piece of real property called the grantor, transfers any interest to a recipient, called the grantee.The owner/grantor terminates (quits) any right and claim to the property, thereby allowing claim to transfer to the recipient/grantee.
Quitclaim deeds cannot be "revoked". Once the deed has been executed the property has a new owner: the grantee. The grantor in the deed no longer has any interest in the property.
