What is the Alabama Quitclaim Deed
Alabama Quit Claim Deed Form: Detailed Legal Requirements
Content and Format:
Form of the Deed: According to Ala. Code 35-4-20, the quit claim deed must be on a tangible medium like paper or parchment. While traditionally 'written,' in modern practice, this includes typed or computer-generated documents, as long as they are physically printed.
Signatory Requirements: The deed requires the signature or equivalent mark of the grantor or an agent authorized by them, as stipulated in Ala. Code 35-4-20.
Grantor Information: Essential details like the grantor's name, address, and marital status must be clearly stated (Ala. Code 35-4-20).
Marriage Considerations: For properties owned individually by one spouse, only that spouse's signature is necessary. However, Ala. Code 35-4-20 mandates both spouses to sign if the property is a designated homestead.
Homestead and Non-Homestead Provisions: Non-homestead property transfers need a statement clarifying that the property is not the grantor's homestead.
Detailed Property Description: A full legal description of the property is required, including references to prior recordings, as per Ala. Code 35-4-20.
Grantee Details: The deed should contain the grantee’s name, address, and vesting information.
Deed Preparer Information: Identification of the individual preparing the deed, including their name and address, is required under Ala. Code 35-4-110, 113.
Witness and Acknowledgment: Notarization or a witness statement is obligatory. An additional witness is required if the grantor is unable to write, as noted in Ala. Code 35-4-20.
Warranty Clause Wording:
Avoid Implied Warranties: Due to the nature of quit claim deeds, words implying warranties like "grant," "bargain," or "sell" should be avoided (Ala. Code 35-4-271). Instead, use phrases like "quit claim and convey" or "remise, release and quit claim," to indicate the transfer of interest without any warranties.
Recording Requirements:
Mandatory Recording with Probate Judge: As specified in Ala. Code 35-4-50, the deed must be recorded with the probate judge in the county where the property is located. This step is crucial to ensure legal recognition of the ownership transfer.
Benefits of Recording: Recording the deed serves multiple purposes: it provides public notice of the change in ownership, protects the rights of the current owner, and maintains an unambiguous chain of title, as per general real estate law principles.
Priority in Disputes: In property ownership disputes, a later owner who has recorded their conveyance will generally have legal precedence over an earlier owner with an unrecorded document (Ala. Code 35-4-50).
Consideration Disclosure:
Deed Consideration Clause: While Ala. Code 35-4-34 specifies that the actual consideration (the purchase price or value) doesn't need to be included in the deed's text, other laws come into play.
Real Estate Sales Validation Form Requirement: Since the enactment of Ala. Act 2012-494, the actual purchase price or value of the property transfer must be disclosed using the Real Estate Sales Validation Form. This is in accordance with Ala. Code 40-22-1, and the deed cannot be recorded without submitting this form and paying the necessary tax.
County-Specific Stipulations:
Local Requirements: It’s important to note that individual counties in Alabama might have their own specific requirements for quit claim deeds, including unique formatting, additional information, tax forms, or other documents. Always check with local authorities to ensure full compliance before attempting to record your quit claim deed.

This was easy to use and only contained one glaring error-where to send the completed form to finish the process. I’ve completed the form, does this mean I get the amended deed sent to me? I think not.
Your insights are invaluable to us and help us strive for better service. Thank you for taking the time to share your thoughts.

It is easy to use but difficult to know when the document has been reviewed for recording and when the invoice is ready. It would be helpful for the website to send an email automatically once the document(s) are ready to be recorded to let you know what the time line is.....Thank you for your help.
Thank you for your feedback. We really appreciate it. Have a great day!

I am so glad I found this resource! As the Executor of a family members estate I wanted to save money by bypassing a lawyer as it seemed pretty straight forward to tranfer a Life Estate to the remainderman. (I had original deeds). But talking with 3 different states and 4 different counties - none of which seemed to need the same documents, I was almost ready to dump this in a lawyer's lap. This resource makes it simple!
We appreciate your business and value your feedback. Thank you. Have a wonderful day!

recently joined Deeds.com. still exploring the site. has been very helpful in providing local information for recording, such as fees and requirements. i am working to correct mistakes made within a deed. it is amazing how these municipalities operate outside the scope of Article 1, Section 8, Clause 17; to claim land is "in" the "State of ____. when the land is actually not ceded to the United States of America as for use for needful buildings. beware of the fraud perpetrated by Attorneys in the recording of your Deeds. Registration as "RESIDENTIAL" puts your private-use land on the TAX rolls with the use of that one word. i recommend this site as it appears there is information for each state and each county office. will update my review once i place an order.
Thank you!
