I would strongly suggest that you take what ever agreements that have been drafted and at least consult with an attorney before you sign them. If you are splitting the assets as you say then why would you need to sign over a quit claim deed? It makes no sense and you were right to see that red flag. It may make sense in reading the entire agreement but that is not possible here. Get legal help. Good luck.
