*The Following Alabama and Greene County supplemental forms are included as a courtesy with your order.
RT-1
This is a required form due at the time of filing. The form, called the "Real Estate Sales Validation Form" and labeled "Form RT-1," is to be signed by the grantor, grantee, owner or agent, and requires, in addition to other basic information, the total purchase price, the actual value, or the assessor's market value of the property.
Non-Resident Withholding Forms
The forms included at the end of this package are for non-resident transfers, which include individuals, trusts, partnerships, corporations, limited liability companies, limited liability partnerships, and unincorporated organizations. The package includes all the information and forms that the State of Alabama requires regarding a non-residence transfer of real property. Forms in package must be printed before filling in. The individual forms are the same as those in the package, but can be filled out before printing.
Alabama Homestead Exemptions
H1 Homestead Exemption 1 is available to all citizens of Alabama who own and occupy single-family residences, including manufactured homes, as their primary residences and use their property for no other purposes. The amount of the exemption is $4,000 in assessed value for State taxes and $2,000 in assessed value for County taxes.
Notary Certificates
The supplemental forms in this section can be used as loose certificates by notaries in the state.
Including:
For a quit claim deed form to be valid in Alabama, it must meet specific statutory requirements.
Content:
The conveyance must be in writing on paper or parchment, and signed or marked by the grantor or an authorized agent and must also include the name, address, and marital status of the grantor (Ala. Code 35-4-20 et al). If the grantor is married, but the property is only owned by the spouse transferring ownership, the grantor's signature alone is sufficient for a legal conveyance. However, both spouses must sign the document if the land conveyed includes designated homestead property, regardless of the other spouse's ownership status. Non-homestead transfers require a recital stating that the property conveyed is not the grantor's homestead. In addition, deeds must contain a complete legal description of the property; a reference to prior recording if available; the grantee's name, address, and vesting information; a statement identifying the name and address of the individual who prepared the deed (Ala. Code 35-4-110, 113); and a witness statement or acknowledgement by a notary or other individual authorized to take oaths. If the grantor can write, the acknowledgement is sufficient, but if the grantor cannot write, an additional witness is required.
NOTE: because Alabama quitclaim deeds offer no warranty of title, the warranty clause section of the deed should not include the words "grant," "bargain," or "sell," because they contain implied warranties (Ala. Code 35-4-271). Instead, it should read "quit claim and convey," "remise, release and quit claim," or other such language that clearly shows the grantor's intent to convey his or her interest in the real property, but nothing more.
Recording:
By law, any document conveying ownership in real property must be recorded with the probate judge in the county wherein the land is situated (Ala. Code 35-4-50). Recording is important because it enters the transaction into the public record, which provides formal notice of the change of title, protects the most recent owner, and preserves the clear chain of title. If a conflict about ownership of property arises, a later owner who recorded a conveyance will triumph over an earlier owner with an unrecorded document. Moreover, a clear chain of title makes it easier to re-convey the property at a later time.
The statutes specifically state that there is no requirement to recite the actual consideration paid in the text of the deed (Ala. Code 35-4-34). However, as of August 1, 2012, Alabama enacted Ala. Act 2012-494. This requires disclosure of the actual purchase price of the property or the actual value of the transfer, using the Real Estate Sales Validation Form, in accordance with Ala. Code 40-22-1. No deed may be recorded without submitting the form and paying the associated tax.
Be aware that counties often require unique formatting, additional information, tax forms, or other documents before the quit claim deed may qualify for recording.

Review: Useless for me. My deed could not be pulled. After investigation, I got a copy online directly from WV for $3. No one but editors of this will ever see this. Shame.
