She can sell or transfer her house as this kind of deed:
A quitclaim deed is a legal document that transfers the title of a property from one person to another without providing much buyer protection. The grantor, or the person giving away the property, transfers their current deed to the grantee, or the person receiving the property.
Quitclaim deeds are often used in the following situations:
- Family transfers: When transferring property between close family members, such as a parent to a child
- Title defects: When correcting a defect in the title, such as a misspelling
- No money involved: When a property transfers ownership without being sold
Quitclaim deeds are different from other types of deeds because they don't make any promises or warranties about the property. The grantor doesn't guarantee that their interest in the property is valid, and the deed doesn't state the nature of the grantor's interest or rights.
Because of the limited buyer protection, it's important to understand what you're getting when you buy property with a quitclaim deed. A real estate attorney can provide advice to ensure that your use of quitclaim deeds aligns with your needs.
