A Wisconsin quit claim deed is a standard form that may be utilized to document the transfer of property from a grantor to a grantee. The Wisconsin Register of Deeds does not require this filing however, in the case where two separate individuals wish to claim a property with this form, the initial filer will take precedence. This form will provide the structure for the basic requirements however additional paperwork may be specified in different cases or different counties. If there are any questions regarding the process, it may be a wise precaution to seek a consultation with an appropriately licensed professional. This document must be filed with the Register of Deeds in the same county as that of the property.
