Southeast Fairbanks Borough Quitclaim Deed (Two Grantors) Form

Two record owners releasing their interests in the same Alaska real estate through one instrument: that single-document configuration is what this form carries. The Alaska Quitclaim Deed (Two Grantors) recites both grantors by name and mailing address, joins their conveyances in one operative clause, and pairs each grantor's signature line with its own acknowledgment certificate, so the two signers may acknowledge on different days, in different places, and before different officers.

One Deed, Two Undivided Interests

Alaska's statutory quitclaim form at AS 34.15.040 already speaks in the plural. The statute directs insertion of the grantor's name or names and conveys all interest which the grantor has, if any, so one deed carries two grantors as naturally as one. Each grantor passes only that grantor's own interest through the statutory operative words conveys and quitclaims, with no covenant or warranty of title; under AS 34.15.080 no covenant is implied in an Alaska conveyance. When both undivided interests move in a single instrument, the grantee's chain of title shows one recorded conveyance in place of two, recorded for one fee and indexed under every party's name.

Two Signatures, Two Acknowledgment Certificates

The two-grantor architecture runs through the whole form. Section 1 carries a separate identification block for each grantor, because Alaska recording law calls for the complete mailing address of every person granting or acquiring an interest. Section 8 carries two signature blocks, and each is paired with its own acknowledgment certificate, completed by the notarial officer who takes that grantor's acknowledgment. The certificates stand independent of each other, so one grantor may sign in Anchorage in March and the other in Fairbanks, or in another state entirely, in April; each certificate's venue block follows the AS 09.63.100 pattern, carrying the state and the judicial district where an Alaska acknowledgment is taken, or the county or equivalent venue elsewhere.

Two heirs passing inherited undivided half interests to one relative, and two co-owners consolidating title in a single name after years of shared ownership, are the ownership patterns this deed recites in the record. The form is drafted around exactly two record owners on the grantor side; a release by a sole owner, or a conveyance joined by three or more owners, follows a different signature and certificate architecture from the one this form carries. The grantee section, by contrast, stays open: it accepts one grantee, as the completed example shows, or several grantees with the co-ownership designation Alaska law recognizes for them.

Built for the Statewide Recorder

The first page reserves a two inch top band for the recorder's stamp and names the recording district where the property lies, the district identification Alaska's recording statutes make an eligibility item. A source-of-title entry ties both grantors' record interests to the deed, and the return-address block tells the recorder where to send the original after recording. Alaska charges a flat recording fee, currently $20 for the first page and $5 for each additional page, and collects no statewide transfer tax on an ordinary deed, so the completed quitclaim deed and the fee are the whole filing.
