A quitclaim deed transfers whatever interest the grantor may have in a property without making any warranties or guarantees about the quality of title. It offers the least protection to the grantee.

Recording is the act of placing a document in the public records at the county recorder's office to give constructive notice to the world of an interest in real property. Recording protects the holder's interest against subsequent claims.
