Welcome Ashley,

A quitclaim deed helps you to put your name on the title. To find out if there is lien on your property, you can go for a title search with a title company. A title search involves checking of public records available at the County Recorder which helps find out if there is lien against your property.

Welcome Ashley,

Title search will help you to find out if there is any lien on the property.

Did the home owner quitclaim the property? Quitclaim deed does not assure that the title is free from any lien but warranty deed assures you that the title is free from lien.

Let me know if there is any further query.

you can save yourself some money by visiting the town clerk or county clerk where documents are recorded and searching through the records yourself.

as noted above, a quit claim deed simply transfers one person's interest in a property to another person; there is no warranty involved, be it ownership percentage or lien involvement.
