Benton County Quitclaim Deed (Two Grantors) Form

Two record owners releasing the same Arkansas property sign one instrument on this form: a quitclaim deed configured for exactly two grantors, with a name and marital status block for each, a signature line for each, and a separate acknowledgment certificate for each. Whatever right, title, and interest the two grantors hold at delivery passes to the grantee, and no warranty of title travels with it.

Two undivided interests, one deed

Arkansas supplies tenancy in common as the default when a deed puts two or more people on title without survivorship words, so co-owners commonly hold undivided fractional shares. When both owners move those shares at the same time to the same person, a single two-grantor deed places the whole transaction in one recorded instrument, indexed once, instead of two documents a later title examiner has to reassemble. Each grantor passes only the interest that grantor actually holds, and the grantee takes the combined interest subject to whatever already burdens the title.

Who signs, and how many certificates

The form recites exactly two grantors and collects what Arkansas practice looks for from each of them: the marital status entry that flags the homestead and dower questions the guide explains, the signature made before a notary, and the subscription of two disinterested witnesses under Arkansas Code Annotated section 18-12-104. The notary section carries one acknowledgment certificate per grantor, a layout that leaves the two signers free to acknowledge on different days, in different counties, or in different states entirely. Patterns that present two grantors in the Arkansas records include a pair of heirs consolidating inherited fractional shares in one family member, co-investors releasing a jointly held parcel to a single holder, and spouses conveying together property they hold as tenants by the entirety; where the property is a married grantor's homestead, section 18-12-403 makes the spouses' joint execution the point on which validity turns, and a deed both spouses sign carries that execution within its own four corners. The form is not set up for a sole owner, and a conveyance by three or more owners sits outside its two grantor blocks.

No covenant words, by design

Because Arkansas Code Annotated section 18-12-102 reads statutory title covenants into any deed using the phrase grant, bargain and sell, a no-warranty instrument in this state is drafted around those words. This deed conveys by remise, release, and forever quitclaim and says on its face that no statutory covenant arises, so the record shows a bare transfer of interest rather than a promise about the title behind it.

Through the recording counter

The first page carries the preparer statement section 14-15-403 requires, and the grantee or the grantee's agent signs the transfer tax certification printed in the deed when the transaction is taxable; the guide covers the Real Property Transfer Tax Affidavit of Compliance and the exemption statement for transfers the tax does not reach. The 2025 identification amendment to section 14-15-403 reaches a two-grantor deed the same way it reaches any other: a deed arriving over the counter or through the mail carries grantor photo identification, subject to statutory exceptions for attorneys, title agents, lenders, and government presenters. The pages themselves hold the margins and reserves of section 14-15-402, formatted for the circuit clerk's counter in any Arkansas county.
