The deed will transfer title for the real property (i.e. the house itself, the garage, and likely the shed (depending on if its affixed to the ground, or if it's portable, etc.).

No. The deed includes the real estate only, not the contents.

A quit claim deed usually only transfers an interest in real property.

A quitclaim deed transfers ownership of realty only. Ownership of personal property is not transferred. If the prior owner knowingly refused to clear the property for the sale of the underlying realty then it could be an abandonment situation. If the garage was leased to a third party for storage that person may have a right to keep the personal property on the realty until the lease ends.

Only items that are permanently affixed to the land.

Yes on the garage and shed, No to the rest. A deed passes real property, including fixtures which are attached to the land. If the deed says it passes other things, it might be useful evidence of an intent to transfer those things.

It would include the garage and shed but not the trailer or contents. The trailer has its own title certificate through the Secretary of State. The contents are personal property, which does not have title.

A Quit Claim Deed would not ordinarily convey personal property, but personal property is not really conveyed by any instrument. For this reason, if a Quit Claim Deed is given for a parcel of real property and there is personal property on that real property that the grantor of the Deed owned, but left on the property. This leaving of the personal property might indicate an intent to abandon the personal property to the owner of the real property.

It only pertain to real property, land and house.

A Quit Claim deed only deals with real property and any building or structure that is permanently attached such as the garage. You would need to transfer ownership of the personal property trailer, building contents, and personal possession by another means.

No. The quitclaim only relates to the real estate. You would need a bill of sale for the personal property.
