Quitclaim Deed ;defined

I do not wish to offend anyone. If definitions offend you,tune out now!
I found this definition in: Dictionary of Business Terms , third edition, Barron's Business Guides. I found it to be very interesting.
Quitclaim deed ; Deed that conveys only that right, title or interest that the grantor has, or may have, and does not warrant that the grantor has, or may have, and does not warrant that the grantor actually has any particular title or interest in the property.The grantor under a quitclaimdeed releases whatever interest he may have to the grantee. See also cloud title; General warranty deed.

Cloud on Title any matter appearing in the record of a title to real estate that on its face appears to reflect the existence of an outstanding CLAIM or ENCUMBRANCE that, if valid, would defeat or impair title, but that might be proven invalid by evidence outside the title record.

General Warranty Deed ;Deed in which the grantor agrees to protect the grantee against any other claim to title of the property and provides other promises.

It is my hope, that these terms help in the understanding of the issues of ownership of The Bowen ranch houses.
