Absolutely not. The transfer of property involves two separate actions: the buyer hands over the full consideration ($$$) and the seller hands over the deed. Do not hand over the signed deed until you have been paid. You should have an attorney represent you in any sale of real estate. If you did you wouldn't be asking this question.

Can I cash check from quit claim deed?

No, you cannot cash a check from a quitclaim deed because a quitclaim deed is a legal document used to transfer ownership of real property and does not represent a monetary value. If you are expecting a check related to the sale or transfer of property, it would typically come from a real estate transaction or closing process, not directly from the quitclaim deed itself. To access any funds, you would need to follow the specific procedures related to that transaction.
