QUITCLAIM DEED

Guest 0.10 Dollars($)

Quitclaim Deed contains the following line:

"WITNESSETH that the said first party. for good consideration and for sum of ------------Dollars ($--------------) paid by the said second party, the receipt whereof is hereby acknowledged, does hereby remise, release and quitclaim unto the said second party forever, all the right, title, interest and claim. which the said first party has in and to the following described parcel of land, and improvements and appurtenances thereto in the County of----------------------------State of---------------------------to wit: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- -------------
---------------------------------------------------------------------- ---------------"

What is the "to wit"?

That's where the legal description of the property goes. If you have a copy of the deed to your house you can copy from that - but it must be verbatim.

Welcome aziz,

"To wit" usually means "to know". Perhaps the entire language here implies that the state should know that you are quitclaiming a part of your interest to the second party. I suppose Jheard (attorney in our community) can explain this better. You can pm him with your login name here.

What does "to wit" mean on the second page?

Hi Joanne!

Welcome to Forums!

"To wit" means to know. You are helping the state to know that you are quitclaiming the property to someone else. You can also refer to the previous to posts for better information.

Feel free to ask if you have further queries.
