Carlos and his sister Diana jointly inherited a parcel of land in New Haven. Diana wants to transfer her undivided interest in the property to Carlos so he becomes the sole owner. Their attorney recommends the simplest deed form for this purpose, since there is no dispute about Diana's interest and no warranty is needed. Which deed type should Diana use?

Correct Answer

C) Quitclaim deed

A quitclaim deed is the simplest and most commonly used deed form in Connecticut when a grantor wishes to convey whatever interest they hold without providing any warranty. In intra-family transfers, clearing title clouds, or situations where both parties understand the nature of the interest being conveyed, a quitclaim deed is appropriate and sufficient. Diana's quitclaim deed will convey her undivided interest to Carlos without any covenants.
