A North Carolina quit claim deed is a legal form used to convey real estate in North Carolina from one person to another. A quitclaim, unlike a warranty deed, does not come with a guarantee from the seller, or grantor, as to whether the grantor has clear title to the property or has the authority to sell the property. You will therefore want to be careful about using this type of deed for limited situations and you will be advised to have a property search completed to determine what you are purchasing in the property.

- Recording – Deeds must be submitted, after completion and acknowledgments, to the Register of Deeds in the county where the real estate is located.[1]
