What Is an Alaska Quitclaim Deed?

In the State of Alaska, a Quit Claim Deed, or quitclaim deed, is a legal document where a grantor (the owner of a property) expressly relinquishes ownership rights and interest to the grantee (the person receiving the real property). It's important to note that this document doesn’t officially transfer ownership, but rather prevents the grantor from later claiming an interest in the property. This type of deed is common to transfer property between family members where it is inherited, and in divorces, where a property is relinquished to an ex-spouse.

Suppose you're looking for a document to transfer title and offer protections to the new owner. In that case, you should instead look at other types of Alaska deed forms, such as a general warranty deed or special warranty deed.

Alaska Quitclaim Deed Laws

The Alaska State Legislature provides instructions on how a quitclaim deed should be worded before being submitted to the District Recorder’s office (Alaska Statutes § 34.15.040).

It is to be filed with the District Recorder's office where the property is located. The appropriate District Recorder, as well as their corresponding counties, can be found here. Alaska state law also requires the document must be notarized by a Notary Public (§ 34.15.150)
