Question & Answer

Review the question and all answer choices

A

Provides full warranties

Option A is incorrect because a quitclaim deed specifically provides no warranties of title. Unlike warranty deeds that guarantee title quality, a quitclaim deed simply transfers whatever interest the grantor may have, without any promises or guarantees about the property's ownership status or potential defects.

B

Transfers whatever interest the grantor has without warranties

Correct Answer
C

Is not recognized

Quitclaim deeds are fully recognized in North Carolina and are commonly used in specific situations like transferring property between family members or clearing title issues.

D

Requires court approval

Court approval is not required for standard deed transfers in North Carolina, including quitclaim deeds, except in specific circumstances like estate settlements or guardianship situations.

Why is this correct?

Option B is correct because quitclaim deeds are defined by their lack of warranties. They transfer whatever interest the grantor may have, whether full ownership, partial interest, or none at all, without any promises about the quality of title.
