An Alaska quit claim deed is a document that includes the transfer of ownership in real estate, with no guarantees, from a grantor (seller) to a grantee (buyer). If the grantor has any ownership of the property, it will be transferred to the grantee. The grantee is accepting the risk that the property is owned by the grantor with the quit claim deed representing the ownership transfer.
