Quitclaim deed law is state specific.  In a broader sense, real estate law is state specific.  A Quitclaim deed valid in one state may be void in another.  For example, Colorado does not require witnesses to the execution of a Quitclaim deed (or any real estate deed, for that matter).   Florida requires two witnesses to a Quitclaim deed otherwise the deed is void.   

Here is another example.  Florida recognizes something known as tenancy by the entireties.  Tenancy by the entireties is a form of property ownership between husband and wife.  However, did you know that there are at least four different versions of tenancy by the entireties across the United States?  A tenancy by the entirety will have different legal implications in different states. 

We make this point because the Internet gives people access to all sorts of information from all over the world.  However, the local governing body defines the meaning of legal terms.  The meaning of legal terminology is not uniform.  Interpreting the meaning of a legal term requires understanding how that term is used and defined in the specific locality.
