There are many samples online from different law firms.

Filling out a quitclaim Deed can be very simple, but you must always truly consider why it is that you wish to sign a quitclaim deed. When you Quit your claim to a deed, you are handing over a property with all of it liabilities, like debts for example to the person that you are signing it over to. If you give someone the ownership interest that you have in a your house, they then will control the debts, but they will also control the value or EQUITY that you might have in the house as well.

You can buy simple Quit-Claim Deed at most stationary stores, but you would be better off contacting a local escrow company, and ask them to assist you with the transaction. There will be a small fee, but they help you to make sure that everything is done correctly. Quit-Claim Deeds relinquish the right to further claim on the property from the grantor (seller) to the grantee (buyer). They do not give a warranty on any liens that may be against that property such as a mortgage or other encumbrance. Thus, they are not Warranty Deeds and are not the instrument of preference in a real estate transaction. They are often used for helping to clear title issues. If you plan to use one, you should have a professional teach you line by line how to fill it out because misuse of this instrument can cause title flaws and issues down the line when you try to sell or refinance the property.

You need good advice about your options when filling out any deed because they are always a transfer of some sort. In order to fill out a quit claim deed you will need information that is often readily available to you. You need the name(s) of the grantor, This is the person giving the deed. You will need the correct spelling, middle initial, and a determination of marital status. If the person is married, his or her spouse must also sign the deed. You will likely need the social security numbers of the grantor also. Transfer of real estate often triggers a taxable event so in most states there is a requirement that a form be completed that notifies the IRS (federal) that a transaction took place.

You will need the names of the grantees. These are the people who receive the property. You will need correct spelling and how the grantees will take title. You will need the description of the real estate. Usually a local address will NOT be acceptable. The actual legal description of the real estate will be on the deed or mortgage that you have for the real estate.

The grantors will need to sign the deed in the presence of a witness (in some states) and a notary public.

PLEASE seek professional help with this because it is part of the permanent record of the real estate. If you have the information as set forth above, you can possibly reduce the costs involved.

A deed is an important document that permanently transfers ownership of real property. Errors made by non-professionals can be extremely costly to correct if they can be corrected. You cannot "call back" a deed once it has been executed and delivered. If you don't know how a deed should be drafted then you should consult with an attorney who specializes in real estate law.

If you decide to do it yourself you can visit your local land records office to view examples of recorded deeds.
