What is "quitclaims"

Usage examples of "quitclaims".

Foreseeing this eventuality, I have had my solicitor draw up a series of quitclaims, promissory notes and bills of sale, back-dated throughout these last two years, which will seem to indicate that you've lost everything, piece by piece, to a group of creditors—it would take an international army of accountants years to discover that each of the creditors, tracked back through all the silent partnerships and anonymous holdings companies, is me.

It was merely a list of ships lost or abandoned whose quitclaims were duly registered through Trade.
