Can a warranty deed be changed to a quitclaim deed?

Answer:

No. The grantor has the benefit of choosing what warranties they will provide at the time of the sale or the warranties are negotiated by the parties at that time. The grantee on the deed is the new owner and they cannot make changes to their deed. The grantee would need to obtain warranty covenants from the grantor. If there was an error made you need to consult with an attorney as to how it can be corrected.
