The Quit Claim simply states that the owner cannot provide warrented
documentation of ownership  but to the best of his knowledge he takes
responsibility of ownership.

Randy's explanation of a Quit Claim Deed is quite accurate. One absolutely
must know they have part ownership, or more, of the property.

Webster Legal Dictionary: Quit Claim is a, "Deed of conveyance operating by
way of release."

Release: "Conveyance of the rights of one person to another who is actually
in possession".

 

Another definition states, " a document transferring the interest a seller
had in a property. It does not quarantee that the seller was the sole owner"
 Barbara Jean Evans, A to Zac, A Comprehensive Dictionary for Genealogists &
Historians, 3rd ed. Hearthside Press: Alexandria (1950) pg 217.

<<Actually, a quit claim does not necessarily mean that

one doesn't know if they have an interest in a

property. It is simply one renouncing any claim or

right to a property or possesion. In most cases, the

individual would well know that they are part owner.

This instrument was and is frequently used to resolve

property received by right of inheritance or dower,

but re-distributed to other members of the family.
