Create a Minnesota Quit Claim Deed with our customizable template!
A Minnesota quitclaim deed is a legal form that is used to convey property from one person to the next within the state. This type of transfer comes with no guarantee as to whether or not the title is clear, and doesn’t reveal whether or not the seller has the legal right or authority to sell the property. It also comes with no guarantee that the property title is free of encumbrances.
Quitclaim deeds are often used for real property transfers between family members or in instances of divorce; however, regardless of the situation, the buyer should always conduct a thorough title search to ensure that there are no major encumbrances on the property title.
If you instead want to transfer the property in a manner that protects the new buyer, you should instead consider a different type of deed, such as a general warranty deed or a special warranty deed.
Minnesota quitclaim deed laws are codified at Minnesota Statutes § 507.07.
Signing - According to Minnesota Law, the quitclaim deed must be signed by the Grantor (the seller of the property) in the presence of a Notary Public (§ 507.24).
Recording - All deeds filed in the state must be filed with the County Recorder’s Office (§ 507.0944).
Additional Documents - In addition to the quitclaim deed document, the state of Minnesota requires that an eCRV and a Well Disclosure Certificate (WDC) also be filed with a quitclaim deed. An eCRV must be filed on all properties that are valued at more than $1,000. This document can also be filled out online and filed to the County Recorder’s online system. If the property has a new groundwater well since it has been owned by the seller, a Well Disclosure Certificate must be filed with the quitclaim deed.
