    Contract for land sale and quit claim deed
    My Husband and I have worked out a Property Settlement Agreement in our divorce. We own a piece of property that we have signed a Land Purchase Contract on. He is the buyer and I am the Seller. Should I sign a Quit Claim Deed to him?

    I don't think so. You should consult an attorney.

    No, on a land contract, there is no deed transferred till all the money or other terms are done.

    The purpose of purchasing property on a land sales contract is that the seller continues to have title to the property until the contract has been fulfilled. You would lose that protection if you sign a quit claim deed.

    And when the contract has been performed, transfer title via a warranty deed. The buyer will have paid good money; he deserves a warranty that you actually own the interest you are selling him. I understand that he now owns an undivided interest in the property, but a deed should specify what interest you are actually conveying to him.
