A New York quit claim deed may be used as a legal tool to convey a property from one individual to another. This form will also require additional filings, some of them dependent on the location of the property itself. This form does not provide actual proof of the Grantor’s relationship with the Property only that whatever that relationship is, it will be transferred to another party as a result of this conveyance. This form must be filed with the New York County recorder where the property is located.
