A quitclaim deed contains no covenants of any kind on the part of the grantor and offers the least protection to the purchaser/grantee. For a statutory template quitclaim deed see 21 Pa. Stat. Ann. § 1. Typically, the seller's attorney prepares the deed prior to closing. The requirements of a recordable deed can vary by county.
