Create a Utah Quit Claim Deed with our customizable template!
A Utah quitclaim deed is a document that a person will use to convey property. Quitclaim deeds provide no warranty or guarantee on the title of a property, but it does guarantee that the seller will not come back at a later date to claim interest on the property. These types of transfers are often used between family members. Nevertheless, a thorough title search should be conducted to ensure that the title of the property is free of encumbrances.
If you instead want to transfer property in a way that protects the new owner, you should consider a different type of deed, such as a general warranty deed or a special warranty deed. If you're unsure what type of property deed to use, you should seek legal advice.
Utah quitclaim deed laws are codified at Utah Code § 57-1-13.
Signing - According to Utah state law (§ 57-3-101), the seller or sellers must sign the deed in the presence of a Notary Public.
Recording - Once the document has been signed and witnessed by a Notary Public, the grantor (the selling party) must then file the quitclaim deed with the County Recorder's Office in the city or county where the property is located.
