my sister bought a home in new york with about fifty acres of land, there is a quit claim deed which gives hunting rights from the owner she bought the property from to another person. does this mean that she does not have the right to hunt on her own land, or the right to give permission to someone else to hunt on land that she owns, and does this other person even have the right to be on this land when the quit claim deed only gives him the right to hunt.
Hi dave,
In my opinion, your sister owns the property but she does not have the hunting rights as it has been quitclaimed to some other person. She can negotiate with that person and get the deed transferred in her name. She can even contact an attorney and take his opinion in this regard.

Thanks for your input adonis, I think you are right about talking to an attorney, because this guy is to put it politely a real jerk and I am sure that he is not going to negotiate. Everything that I have read though says there is no guarantee with a quit claim deed, I also read that if others with an intrest in the property that being my sister do not sign the deed thier rights are unaffected by this document, she has a warranty deed in her and her husbands name for this property. What it seems like to me is that she has hunting rights, she can just not stop him from hunting, but what do I know. Thanks again for your input.
Hi dave,
A warranty deed is a legal document which states that the property is free and clear. In case, if there is a dispute and if the grantee finds out that someone has interest in property which is not disclosed in the deed, then he/she has the right to sue the grantor. In my opinion, your sister should follow Adonis' advice and contact an attorney.
