A cloud on a title is not corrected simply by "proper wording" in a quitclaim deed.

A cloud on a real estate title is some defect or potential defect in the owner's title. It arises from some claim against the owner's interest such as a lien, an easement, a court decree or very often a missing interest from some former owner who died.

A cloud on the title, also called a title defect, can prevent the sale of a property until the defect is resolved. Many title defects can be resolved by recording missing documentation. For example:

  • A missing heir can sometimes be found and will agree to execute a deed that conveys their missing interest.
  • A probate can be filed for someone who died owning an interest in the property.
  • A corrective deed can be recorded to correct an error in the description in an earlier deed in the chain of title if that former owner is still available.
  • A discharge can be recorded for an old undischarged mortgage.
  • An old tax taking can be redeemed by paying the outstanding tax bill.

Some clouds can be addressed quite easily and with little expense. Others can be quite costly to solve if they can be solved. In cases where it's not possible to record corrective documentation, a cloud on the title must be removed by a judicial order.

Representation by a knowledgeable attorney, a comprehensive title examination by a professional and an owner's title insurance policy from a conservative, reputable company can protect a property owner against any clouds arising after acquisition.

Can you put a cloud on title by giving someone a quit claim deed?

Yes, you can create a cloud on title by giving someone a quitclaim deed, as this type of deed transfers any interest you may have in a property without guaranteeing that the title is clear. If the grantor has any claims or liens against the property, those can be passed on to the grantee, potentially complicating future ownership or financing. While a quitclaim deed does not inherently create a cloud on title, it can introduce uncertainties regarding ownership rights, especially if there are existing claims.

How do you get around a quit claim deed?

First, you should be aware that deeds should always be drafted by a professional. Errors made by non-professionals can be difficult and costly to correct IF they can be corrected. A small mis-wording can result in a cloud on the title that may not be discovered for years- not until the property is eventually sold and the title is examined by a professional. Then, you will need to pay an attorney to address the problem. Do it yourself generic legal documents are always available online. You can also find forms through research at your local law library.

Can a recorded quitclaim deed create a cloud on title thereby preventing a foreclosure action?

If you're asking if the defaulting mortgagor can stop the foreclosure by executing a deed and conveying the property the answer is no. To execute a deed wouldn't create a cloud on the property. The property would be transferred subject to the mortgage and the lender can continue with the foreclosure by giving notice to the grantee.
