A Minnesota quitclaim deed is a legal form used to convey property in the state of Minnesota. This form of transfer comes with no guarantee that the seller can transfer the property legally or that he or she has unfettered title to the premises. This type of deed is often used in close situations such as when a person desires to transfer the property to his or her trust or to a close family member. However, in order to ascertain what interest is being transferred, it is important that a complete title search is conducted.
