Document background
The Quitclaim Deed For Property is a crucial document in Nigerian real estate transactions where the primary goal is to transfer or release whatever interest a person may have in a property without providing any guarantees about the title's status. This deed type is particularly useful in situations involving family transfers, divorce settlements, clearing title defects, or resolving boundary disputes. Under Nigerian law, particularly the Land Use Act of 1978, all land is technically vested in the state governors, making proper documentation and registration essential. The deed must include specific elements such as proper party identification, property description, and consideration statement, while also complying with state-specific registration requirements and possibly requiring Governor's consent for the transfer to be fully effective.
