Description
AMERICA’S BEST QUITCLAIM DEED SELF-HELP LEGAL DOCUMENT SOFTWARE
If you have the need to transfer title on a piece of real estate, then invariably you will need to create, execute and file a Deed.
A Deed is the document that transfers ownership in property from one living person or legal entity to another.
When closing an arms-length real estate sale (a transaction not between family members purchased at market rate), the buyer pays the seller who in turn provides the Deed to the buyer. The buyer then files the Deed with the recorder’s office or real estate office in the county where the property is located to complete the transaction.
If a person wishes to transfer property to a spouse, child, friend, family member, etc. without creating and signing a real estate contract or for an amount far under market value, the family can simply prepare a Deed. The family member(s) who will hold ownership in the property are named in the Deed, and then the Deed is executed and filed.
[IMPORTANT NOTE: Only a LIVING PERSON or a Trust can transfer ownership of a property to another using a Quitclaim Deed. A new Deed must be signed by the currently listed property owner to initiate ownership transfer. So property owned by a deceased person CANNOT be transferred to a new owner using a Deed.]
A Deed also may be commonly utilized:
– in Divorce situations, any change in ownership for real estate held within the marriage may necessitate the use of a Quitclaim Deed. If one person is going to keep the home, the other person will need to “quit claim” — give up — their portion of the home.
– if a Living Trust or other estate-planning tool (besides a Last Will & Testament,) is prepared, persons must transfer ownership of the real estate into the Trust; to make such a transfer requires the use of a Quitclaim Deed.
QUITCLAIM DEED DOCUMENT SOFTWARE EXAMPLES
QUITCLAIM DEEDS, WARRANTY DEEDS AND SURVIVORSHIP DEEDS
Within Standard Legal’s Quitclaim Deeds legal forms software package are three types of commonly used deed types:
QUITCLAIM DEED
This deed can be used when transferring or conveying property from one party to another without representation or warranties. This type of deed is generally used in “AS-IS” sales situations, or for transfers among family members, Trusts, etc., where an arms-length real estate sale does not take place.
WARRANTY DEED
This deed is the one most commonly used for general real estate transactions. This deed “warrants” that the property is being transferred with clear title (i.e. without encumbrances except those that are filed on record). Most arms-length sales of residential property utilize a warranty deed.
SURVIVORSHIP DEED
Deeds created “with survivorship” mean that if one of the named owners dies, the other listed owner(s) retains full title to the property. (Such a deed also permits one spouse who owns property in his or her name only to transfer that property to both spouses with survivorship.) Options to this structure include a Quitclaim Deed with Survivorship and a Warranty Deed with Survivorship.
Each of the Warranty Deed and Quitclaim Deed options listed above are available for the following marital status situations:
– Married couple transferring property to another married couple;
– Married couple transferring property to a single individual;
– Single individual transferring property to a married couple;
– Single individual transferring property to another single individual;
– A variety of forms that cover transfers to and from unmarried couples;
– And finally, a Quitclaim Deed that allows individuals or couples to transfer property into a Trust (or, conversely, from a Trust back to individuals or a married couple).
The deeds with Survivorship language are available for the following marital status situations:
– Married couple transferring property to another married couple;
– Single individual transferring property to a married couple;
– A variety of forms that cover transfers to and from unmarried couples.
The wide variety of options available from Standard Legal allows a person to quickly, easily and affordably create a Deed for the specific situation, with each Deed tailored to the writer’s marital status and the marital status of the others involved in the transaction.
STATE-SPECIFIC DEEDS: a series of state-specific deeds are provided within this package as well, for use whenever a homeowner’s particular state requires specific language to be contained in its documents. Not all states require specific language, and property owners in those states may use the general forms. See the instructions provided within for complete details.

Generally, the legal forms are provided as Microsoft Word and Adobe PDF files with fillable form fields. Not all forms are provided in both formats in all cases. SOFTWARE FORMATS + SAMPLES >
A full-featured version of Microsoft Word is one option to complete the Word-formatted documents. FREE open-source word processing programs like OpenOffice, LibreOffice, Google Docs, etc. may work as well.
Use the FREE Adobe Reader to complete and print the PDF document files. It is best to use the most up-to-date version of Reader; see ‘Help > Check for Updates’ in the program’s menu to get the latest version. It is CRITICAL that Reader ALWAYS be used as a stand-alone program or mobile app and NEVER within a web browser.
Links to a downloadable .zip file are presented immediately upon the completion of your order. This .zip must be expanded to access the PDF files. Most computers have an expansion program like WinZip pre-installed; if your computer does not we recommend StuffIt Expander (it’s FREE!). Once the file is downloaded, all documents within can be completed offline, no internet connection required. Read the START-HERE.txt file included in the initial download for more instructions.
Access links to the downloadable .zip file and/or the online forms server for this title are available for one (1) year after the date of purchase, upon request.
