Mohave County Quitclaim Deed (Interspousal) Form

An Arizona interspousal quitclaim deed carries exactly one signature line. The spouse conveying signs before a notary; the spouse receiving is the grantee, and a grantee signs nothing on an Arizona deed. Whatever interest the grantor holds, community or otherwise, crosses the marriage and lands as the grantee's sole and separate property. This form prepares that instrument under A.R.S. Section 33-402(1), with the vesting written into the conveyance clause itself.

What the single signature accomplishes

Arizona presumes property acquired by either spouse during marriage is community property under A.R.S. Section 25-211, and Section 25-214 makes disposition of community real property a two spouse act. An interspousal deed sits in a distinctive corner of that rule: the disposition runs to the other spouse, so the spouse who does not sign is the grantee the conveyance benefits, not a bystander whose joinder is missing. The operative clause quit claims all of the grantor's right, title, and interest, expressly including any community property interest, to have and to hold as the grantee's sole and separate property, the characterization A.R.S. Section 25-213 gives property a spouse acquires by gift. No covenant or warranty of title attaches.

The configuration on the page

The deed recites one grantor with a marital status recital, one grantee identified as the grantor's spouse, and a printed statement that the two are married to each other. One acknowledgment certificate follows the signature, on the Arizona short form wording of Section 41-265, and the conveyance section states the grantee's sole and separate vesting rather than leaving it to a label after a name. Two ownership patterns present this configuration in county records: a couple consolidating a co-titled home into one spouse's name, and a spouse releasing every community or other claim to property the owning spouse brought into the marriage, so the record matches the separate character the couple intends. The completed example documents the first pattern for a Glendale parcel in Maricopa County.

Exemption code B3, in the space beneath the legal description

Arizona recorders refuse a deed transferring title unless an Affidavit of Property Value accompanies it or an exemption appears on its face under A.R.S. Section 11-1134. The interspousal transfer has its own entry in that list: Section 11-1134(B)(3) covers a transfer of residential property between husband and wife for only nominal actual consideration, noted as A.R.S. 11-1134 B3 in the line this form places directly under the property description. The completed example claims exactly that code; the guide describes the neighboring codes, including the no monetary consideration quitclaim and the gift.

The rest of the quitclaim suite

Adjacent configurations have their own forms. The Arizona Quitclaim Deed (Joint and Community Property Grantors) carries two grantor signature blocks for spouses conveying community property out of the marriage together; the Arizona Quitclaim Deed (Individual Grantor) recites a single grantor conveying to any grantee, the shape a transfer takes once a decree has ended a marriage; and the Arizona Quitclaim Deed (Trustee Grantor) and Arizona Quitclaim Deed (Trustee Grantee) add the Section 33-404 trust disclosure. This download pairs the blank fillable deed with a completed Maricopa County example and a section by section guide covering signing, the notary journal thumbprint requirement arriving September 12, 2026, and recording.
