Keith, Wonder if you have a "quit claim" deed. You will find the word "quit claim my interest..." or words to that effect somewhere in the body of the deed. Another tipoff is that the consideration will be for a nominal amount--- $1.00 is typical. This is commonly used to divide property among heirs in a estate settlement as well as to clear title.
