A Kentucky quitclaim deed is a form used to convey property in the State of Kentucky. This type of deed does not provide any warranty as to title. That means that the seller does not provide a guarantee that the title to the property is clear and that there are no other interests in the property. The form is often used for close transactions, such as between family members or between a person and his or her trust. It is recommended that if you have any concerns about what rights to the property you are purchasing, then you, or a title organization, complete a title search of the property transfers going back at least 50 years.
