Most states provide quitclaim forms that are easily filled out. However, you do have to comply with the legal requirements applicable to your state. In all states, you must sign the quitclaim before a notary. However, in some states, the person to whom you are giving the quitclaim must also sign and one or more witnesses must also sign the deed after having watched you sign. After that, if you later decide to rescind the deed, you cannot just withdraw the dee unless you can prove in court that it was the result of fraud or undue influence of some sort.
