Quitclaim deed did not constitute an enforceable “separation agreement” that altered the parties’ rights to an equitable division of the couple’s marital partnership property; although the language of the deed effectuated a change in who held title to the property, nothing on the face of the deed indicated it was intended to alter husband’s right to an equitable division of the property upon divorce, or to convert the property to marital separate property.
