Questions answered? Let's get started!
Alabama keeps two of its most distinctive deed rules in the blanks rather than the printed text. A deed does not reach the record unless it states the marital status of each individual grantor, and co-owners take with a right of survivorship only where the instrument says so. Neither answer can be printed in advance. The Alabama Quitclaim Deed is built accordingly: one or two grantors release to one or two grantees whatever right, title, interest, and claim they hold in a described parcel, with no covenant or warranty, and the party blocks stay open.
The status line the probate judge looks for
Ala. Code Section 35-4-73 has barred deeds from the Alabama record since July 21, 1972 unless the marital status of an individual grantor or vendor is recited, and a knowingly false recitation is a misdemeanor. The entry runs a few words and is seldom the same twice: an unmarried man, a widow, a divorced person not since remarried. Section 1 takes it right after the grantor's name, since a printed status would settle a fact belonging to the signer.
Survivorship is something an Alabama deed has to say
Ala. Code Section 35-4-7 reverses an assumption many buyers arrive with. Where a joint tenant dies before severance, that interest does not pass to the others; it descends and vests as though it had been severed. Survivorship attaches only where the creating instrument states that the tenancy carries a right of survivorship, or uses other words showing that intention. The grantee block is therefore as open as the grantor block, and the guide sets out each form the state recognizes and the one it does not.
Three words this deed leaves out
Alabama attaches title covenants to vocabulary, not to a deed's label. Ala. Code Section 35-4-271 reads grant, bargain, and sell, or any one of them, in a fee conveyance as express covenants of an indefeasible fee, of freedom from encumbrances done or suffered by the grantor, and for quiet enjoyment, unless the deed clearly says otherwise. A quitclaim here is defined by the omission: the operative sentence uses remise, release, quitclaim, and convey, and the text adds that no such covenant arises. The grantee takes the interest the grantor holds at delivery, recorded liens and easements traveling with it.
One or two on each side
Two positions on each side, one architecture across every count pattern from one grantor and one grantee up to two of each. Section 1 is a single free-form block taking grantor names with their status wording; Section 2 does the same for grantees, with any designation of how they take. Section 9 gives each grantor position a signature block, and a separate acknowledgment certificate follows each, so two grantors may acknowledge on different dates and before different notaries; on a single-grantor fill the second block and certificate stay blank. Two co-owners who took undivided shares under an estate distribution and release them together to a couple taking with survivorship present the two-on-two pattern this form recites. It is not set up for a company, a trustee, a signer under a power of attorney, or more than two persons on a side, and both signature blocks are captioned for grantors, not for a spouse signing only to give the Ala. Code Section 6-10-3 homestead assent.
At the judge of probate
The deed goes to the judge of probate where the land lies. Recording is notice, not effectiveness: the interest passes on delivery, while Ala. Code Section 35-4-90 leaves an unrecorded conveyance void against a later purchaser for value, mortgagee, or judgment creditor without notice. The Ala. Code Section 40-22-1 tax runs 50 cents per $500.00, or fraction, of the value conveyed, and Alabama's sales value information rides along on Department of Revenue Form RT-1, a one page state form handed over at the counter. The first page keeps its top three inches open for the stamp, and the preparer name and address that Sections 35-4-110 and 35-4-113 make a condition of recordation sit in the text.
Shoppers also search this instrument as a quit claim deed or a quick claim deed. The download holds three files: a blank fillable PDF, a completed example set on a Tuscaloosa County release, and a guide walking every entry, the vesting menu, and both certificates. Nothing here is legal advice; these pages state Alabama law in general terms, and reading it against one parcel and one chain of title is work for an Alabama attorney.

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!
