Quit claim
|

Quit claim1) Conveyancing. By the laws of Connecticut, it is the common practice there for the owner of land to execute a quit claim deed to a purchaser who has neither possession nor pretence of claim, and as by the laws of that state the delivery of the deed amounts to the delivery of possession, this operates as a conveyance without warranty. 2) Contracts. A release or acquittal of a man from all claims which the releasor has against him.
