Perry County Quitclaim Deed (Individual Grantor) Form

An Arkansas quitclaim deed built for one individual grantor carries one signature line, two witness blocks, and a single acknowledgment certificate: the execution set Arkansas law describes for a deed signed by one person. This form prepares that instrument for Arkansas real property, conveying whatever right, title, and interest the grantor holds at delivery, without any warranty of title.

What a quitclaim conveys in Arkansas

Arkansas has no statute prescribing a quitclaim deed form. The instrument rests on the state's conveyancing chapter and on case law reaching back to Bagley v. Fletcher and Miller v. Fraley, under which a quitclaim deed conveys the grantor's right, title, interest, claim, and estate as fully as a deed with full covenants, only without the covenants. The deed passes the interest the grantor actually holds, exactly as it stands. Mortgages, tax liens, easements, and mineral reservations of record ride with the land, and the grantee takes subject to all of them. That honest limitation is the instrument's point: quitclaim deeds appear in the Arkansas records between family members, between divorcing spouses dividing property under a decree, in trust funding, and in cleanups of possible outstanding interests, transfers where the parties know the title's history and price no assurance about it.

Why this deed avoids grant, bargain and sell

Arkansas drafting turns on three little words. Under Arkansas Code Annotated Section 18-12-102, a deed using the words grant, bargain and sell carries statutory covenants of seisin, freedom from grantor caused encumbrances, and quiet enjoyment unless express words limit them. A deed meant to convey without warranty therefore cannot borrow warranty deed language. This form conveys with the words remises, releases, and forever quitclaims, and it states expressly that the statutory covenant words are not used and that no covenant arises, so the recorded instrument reads as exactly what it is.

One grantor, two witnesses, one certificate

The form recites a single individual grantor and is not set up as a spousal joinder deed; a marital status line appears in the grantor section because Arkansas homestead law makes an instrument affecting a married person's homestead invalid without the spouse's joinder, and the guide explains how that rule and the dower and curtesy statutes shape who signs. Below the grantor's signature block sit two disinterested witness blocks, reflecting Section 18-12-104, and a notary acknowledgment certificate, the formality Section 18-12-201 requires before a deed is admitted to record. The grantee section carries a vesting line, and the guide describes each form of co-ownership Arkansas recognizes, from tenancy in common to joint tenancy with right of survivorship and tenancy by the entirety.

Stamps, certifications, and the recording counter

Arkansas collects a real property transfer tax of three dollars and thirty cents per thousand dollars of consideration on transfers over one hundred dollars, and the recorder does not record a taxable deed without statutory proof. The form carries the exact certification sentence of Section 26-60-110 with a signature block for the grantee or agent, and the guide describes the Department of Finance and Administration affidavit route and the exemption statement for nonconsideration transfers. The first page opens with the preparer statement Section 14-15-403 requires, and the pages hold the state format numbers: letter size paper, 2.5 inches reserved at the top of the first page for the file mark, half inch side and bottom margins, and 2.5 inches reserved at the bottom of the last page. Since August 5, 2025, a deed presented in person or by mail travels with the grantor's photo identification or a photocopy of it, with statutory exceptions the guide lists. Recording fees run fifteen dollars for the first page and five dollars for each additional page statewide.
