Quick question: We are selling a property in another state. Do we use the quitclaim form from our current state of residence or from the property state?

Thanks so very much.

You need to use a form that conforms with the law of the property state. If this is a true arms length sale, where there is a typical realtor generated contract, as opposed to, say, something within your family, the contract may require a warranty as opposed to a quitclaim deed.

Quick answer: You can only use titling as accepted in the state where the property is located. How you title the property for the anticipated benefits and costs is another question.

Since most property transactions require significant investment you should ensure that the title is proper to your circumstance. It appears from your question that you want the property sold and so you should accommodate to the transaction with a suitable contract.
