That seems peculiar. You should seek legal counsel and have then review the deed to determine if you effectively reserved that right.

I am not sure what you mean. Did you sign a deed pursuant to MLTS 9.3? How did you "reserve all your rights?" Someone needs to review your paperwork. If this was a document you drafted on your own, it may be a big mess.

I do not understand, generally you cannot reserve such rights except if you include a reverter clause in the quit claim. How did you reserve those rights? If it was not on the quit claim deed you may have not done it properly if it was the reservation of rights should have the procedures. Please contact an attorney

You can't revoke a deed. A deed transfers ownership of real property. Once the deed is recorded, the ownership has changed.

You will have to look at the contract to see how you can do it. The person who you quit claimed to will need to sign and record a quitclaim back to you.
