Warranty Deed vs. Quit Claim Deed

[jandj]

I live in the state of Missouri. My husband was divorced and awarded the house. His ex-wife was supposed to sign a "Quitclaim Deed", but in the process of my husband and me getting the house "refinanced" and in OUR names, the real estate company told us that all his ex-wife needed to sign was a "Warranty Deed" . . . that THAT was even better than a Quitclaim Deed. A "Warranty Deed" was all his ex-wife has signed over to my husband. There was also a "Warranty Deed" signed by my husband and I "by us to us". Is it still a requirement for his ex-wife to sign a "Quitclaim Deed" as well, or does this "Warranty Deed" resolve any interest his ex-wife may have in our property? Thank you.

Ex is out of the picture already since a deed was signed transferring all her interest in the property.

A warranty deed is better.

Thanks so much for the your "prompt" answer to my question. This takes a "load" off my mind. I just wasn't sure if there was something legally left "untied" with the Quitclaim Deed issue.
