Best Answer

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.

How does a quitclaim work?

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.

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. 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.
