11 Lease Termination Agreement
A lease is a legally enforceable agreement between two parties for the temporary use of real property. A lease typically sets forth the number of days, months or years for which the tenancy will last. Upon mutual agreement of a landlord and tenant, they may decide to terminate the lease before the term of the lease has expired. In doing so they will want to have proper documentation of the termination, such as a lease termination agreement, to ensure both parties are relieved of their rights and obligations under the lease.
Use this document to terminate a lease when there is mutual consent by the landlord and tenant.

16 Quitclaim Deed to be used to convey property ownership as community property
A Quitclaim deed allows for the transfer of a share of interest in property. What makes a quitclaim deed unique is that the grantor does not guarantee or warrant anything when transferring his or her share. The grantor may in fact not have title or interest in the property. Some common uses for quitclaim deeds are to transfer title between family members, in a divorce when one spouse will "quitclaim" his or her interest in the family home to the other spouse for example, or to transfer real property into a trust or to a corporation.
In states that recognize community property, married spouses, and in some states, domestic partners, who acquire property during the marriage or partnership do so as community property. This means that the property is an asset of the community, and that it is owned jointly by the spouses or partners. There are no survivorship rights with regards to community property, upon death of one spouse or partner 1/2 of the community property passes to the living spouse or partner and the other 1/2 passes by will or intestate. Different states treat community property differently and therefore the laws of your particular state should be consulted.
This type of Deed is most often used by a couple after marriage to transfer title from one spouse to both spouses.

17 Quitclaim Deed to be used to convey property ownership to a married couple as a tenancy by the entirety
A Quitclaim deed allows for the transfer of a share of interest in property. What makes a quitclaim deed unique is that the grantor does not guarantee or warrant anything when transferring his or her share. The grantor may in fact not have title or interest in the property. Some common uses for quitclaim deeds are to transfer title between family members, in a divorce when one spouse will "quitclaim" his or her interest in the family home to the other spouse for example, or to transfer real property into a trust or to a corporation. Tenancy by the entirety is used in some states by married couples to hold title to property together. The laws and requirements vary from state to state, and should be consulted before proceeding with a deed, but all states require that two people be married to take title this way. Some states, such as Illinois, require that the property be the primary personal residence. Tenancy by the entirety differs from joint tenancy and tenancy in common because it requires the consent of both parties before the tenancy may be broken. One benefit of taking title this way is that only creditors of both the husband and the wife may attach the property, a creditor of just one spouse may not reach the property. At the time of this writing the following states recognize tenancy by the entirety: Alaska, Arkansas, Delaware, District of Columbia, Florida, Hawaii, Illinois, Indiana, Kentucky, Maryland, Massachusetts, Michigan, Mississippi, Missouri, Mississippi, New Jersey, New York, North Carolina, Oklahoma, Oregon, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, Tennessee, Vermont, Virginia, Tennessee and Wyoming. Use this document to create a quitclaim deed conveying property to a married couple by a tenancy by the entirety.

18 Quitclaim Deed to be used to convey property ownership to joint tenants with rights of survivorship
A Quitclaim deed allows for the transfer of a share of interest in property. What makes a quitclaim deed unique is that the grantor does not guarantee or warrant anything when transferring his or her share. The grantor may in fact not have title or interest in the property. Some common uses for quitclaim deeds are to transfer title between family members, in a divorce when one spouse will ?quitclaim? his or her interest in the family home to the other spouse for example, or to transfer real property into a trust or to a corporation.
Joint tenants own equal shares to property and like tenants in common, they have the right to possess the whole. The major difference is that joint tenants have rights of survivorship. The death of one joint tenant causes the entire property interest to pass to the other joint tenant or tenants. However, a joint tenant may, during his lifetime, transfer his interest to a third party. The affect of this transfer is that the transferee becomes a tenant in common with the remaining joint tenants. If there were more than two joint tenants to begin with, the joint tenancy relationship between the non transferring owners is not disturbed with regard to each other, only with regard to the transferee.
Use this document to create a quitclaim deed conveying property to multiple parties who wish to take title as joint tenants with rights of survivorship.
