Yuma County Quitclaim Deed (Trustee Grantor) Form

When Arizona real estate sits in a trust, the deed that moves it out again is signed by the trustee, and Arizona asks something extra of that deed. This quitclaim deed is drafted for the trustee grantor: it carries the statutory quitclaim wording of A.R.S. Section 33-402(1) and the trust beneficiary disclosure that A.R.S. Section 33-404 requires whenever a grantor holding title as trustee conveys.

All the Trustee's Interest, Nothing Warranted

Arizona wrote the quitclaim into statute. Section 33-402(1) treats as sufficient a deed reciting that the grantor hereby quit claims to the grantee all of the grantor's interest in the described property, and the difference between that deed and a warranty deed is purely textual: warranty exists only where words of warranty are added. This form uses the statutory quitclaim wording, recites that the grantor acts solely in the stated trustee capacity and not individually, and states expressly that the transfer carries no covenant or warranty of title. The grantee receives whatever interest the trust holds, exactly as the trust holds it.

The Disclosure Arizona Requires of Trustees

Section 33-404 makes a trustee's deed different from an ordinary conveyance. The deed discloses the names and addresses of the trust beneficiaries and identifies the trust, or points by recording reference to a document already of record in the county that contains the disclosure. The stakes are written into the statute: a conveyance made without the disclosure is voidable by the other party for two years after recording, although interests acquired for value are not impaired. This form carries a dedicated disclosure section directly after the grantor entry, sized for either the full listing or the recording reference.

The Notation That Gets the Deed Past the Counter

Arizona recorders check every deed for an Affidavit of Property Value or an exemption notation, and A.R.S. Section 11-1133(C) directs them to refuse a deed that arrives with neither. Trust transfers commonly qualify for an exemption: a transfer from a trustee to a trust beneficiary for nominal consideration falls under Section 11-1134(B)(8), and a quitclaim executed for no monetary consideration falls under Section 11-1134(A)(4). The form places the notation line beneath the legal description, exactly where the Department of Revenue instructions put it, and the completed example shows the notation in the accepted style, A.R.S. 11-1134 B8.

Built for Arizona Recording, Through the 2026 Changes

The deed meets the format statute, A.R.S. Section 11-480, with a caption, 10 point or larger print, letter size pages, and a first page top margin reserved for recording information, with the return address block in the left portion of that margin where the statute places it. The trustee signs before a notary on the Arizona short form certificate of Section 41-265, stated for a representative capacity. The guide also describes the changes arriving September 12, 2026 under Laws 2026, Chapter 31: photo identification for in-person recording and a notary journal thumbprint for deeds.

The package includes the blank deed as a fillable PDF, a completed example worked through a realistic Maricopa County trust distribution, and a plain language guide that walks through every section, the grantee vesting options Arizona recognizes, and the recording steps. The materials are informational and are not legal advice; an Arizona attorney can apply these statutes to a specific trust or title.
