Hi dkline,

Both title deeds and quitclaim deeds are legal documents concerning any transfer or ownership of property. A title deed is a document which contains the proof of a person's legal right to property such as a house or land.

A quitclaim deed is also a legal document which helps in transferring property from one person to another. The person who is transferring the property is known as the grantor and the person who accepts it is the grantee. However, property transfer with quitclaim deed does not offer any warranty on the rights which others may claim from the property.

Thanks

A quitclaim deed releases any claim, real or potential, you have to a real property interest. A title deed transfers title you actually have, and usually warrants the title.

Hi frank!

Welcome to forums!

I don't think that a quitclaim deed could be turned into a title deed. You will have to sign a separate title deed. However, consulting an attorney in this regard would be a good option.

Feel free to ask if you've further queries.

Hi FRANK,

I do not think you can convert the quitclaim deed into a warranty deed. However, you can transfer the property back to your father and ask him to sign a warranty deed and transfer the property to you again.

Thanks
