Create a Kentucky Quit Claim Deed with our customizable template!
A quitclaim deed in the state of Kentucky is a legal document used to convey property within the state. This type of document doesn’t provide any type of warranty or guarantee that the title of the property is clear and free of any encumbrances, such as easements. Its main function is to ensure that the seller transfers his or her interest to the buyer with a guarantee that he or she will not come back at a later date to claim interest on the property.
A quitclaim deed is usually used in real property transfers between family members; however, it is highly recommended that the buyer conduct a thorough title search before moving forward with a quitclaim deed.
Suppose you instead would like to transfer property in a way that protects the new owner. In that case, you should instead consider a different type of property deed, such as a general warranty deed or a special warranty deed. If you're unsure which type of deed you should use, you should seek legal advice.
Kentucky law dictates that every quitclaim deed be filed with the appropriate County Clerk’s Office. Furthermore, every quitclaim deed is filed along with a Consideration Certificate. As far as the deed’s signing, it must be signed by two (2) witnesses or be witnessed by a Notary Public (KRS 382.130).
