Texas SB885 (codified at Tex. Prop. Code §13.006), which became effective September 1, 2021, potentially will help clear some of the unmarketable title issues in real property created by quitclaim deeds. Given that a quitclaim doesn’t contain words of conveyance or warranty, if a grantor has any interest in the property a quitclaim merely passes whatever that may be to the grantee. Nothing is conveyed via a quitclaim if the grantor has no interest in the property.
