For example, the deed might state that the grantee agrees to allow the grantor to cut and remove timber for one year from the date of the sale.

Explaining the Quitclaim Deed?

A quitclaim deed is a legal document that is used to transfer real property, such as homes, land, and roads, from one entity to another. The entity who is signing over the property to another is referred to as the grantor; the grantee is the entity that receives the property. Since quitclaim deeds do not make any guarantees to the grantees, they are very rarely used to transfer property that has been sold. Quitclaim deeds are most often used to transfer property between people who are familiar with each other, and they can also be used to transfer private property to a business. The quitclaim deed form is the document that must be filled out to create a quitclaim deed.What a Quitclaim Deed Form ContainsBefore property can be transferred from one owner to another, a written document must be created. Many quitclaim forms are created by lawyers, but some grantors create their own forms. A quitclaim deed should contain the names of the grantor and grantee, the date the document was created, a legal description of the property, and a habendum. The habendum describes the rights the grantee will receive. There may also be a consideration added to the quitclaim deed. When added to a quitclaim deed, a consideration describes what the grantee will give to the grantor in exchange for the property. In most states, a quitclaim deed form only has to be signed by the grantor and notarized; the grantee is not required to sign the document.After the Quitclaim Deed Form has Been SignedOnce the signed form has been transferred to the grantee, the deed to the property is considered transferred. The deed should be recorded in the county where the property is located.An issue that can arise from a quit claim deed is that the grantor may not have claim to the property that is being transferred. Quitclaim deeds make no assertions that the property being transferred is without debt or not owned by another party; they just transfer the title from the grantor to the grantee. If the grantor did not own the property that was transferred to the grantee, the grantee does not receive the property. In many states, the grantee will not be able to take legal action against the grantor.

What happens to a warranty deed if the grantee has failed to execute which is otherwise properly drafted and delivered?

The grantor executes the deed. Once it has been properly executed and delivered the grantor no longer owns the property. If the grantee doesn't record the deed in the land records they are creating a title defect that will be costly to clear up if the deed should become lost. Grantees who don't record their deeds are foolish in not taking advantage of a system that would defend their title to land against the world. An unrecorded deed robs your rights and the rights of your heirs to the absolute ownership of the land. On the other hand, if you mean what happens to a properly executed deed if the grantor hasn't signed it- it is worthless if not fully executed by the grantor.

Can a quit claim deed never recorded be revoked?

Generally, deeds cannot be revoked once they have been signed by the grantor and delivered to the grantee unless there was some condition in the deed that wasn't met. That type of condition would be called a reverter clause. For example, a grandmother could convey a plot of land to her grandson with the condition that he build a home on it within five years or the title to the land would revert to the grandmother or her estate.
