Perry County Quitclaim Deed Form

A deed that promises nothing about the title leans entirely on the record, and Arkansas says exactly what the record does. Section 14-15-404 dates constructive notice from the moment of filing and leaves an unrecorded conveyance powerless against a later purchaser for value without actual notice and against a judgment creditor. This form is the Arkansas quitclaim deed in its general configuration: one or two individuals signing in their own capacity release to one or two grantees whatever right, title, interest, claim, and estate they hold when the deed is delivered.

Why the file mark matters more here

Between the parties the conveyance happens at delivery; against everyone else it happens at the counter. So the instrument is drawn to be recordable first: the preparer statement of Section 14-15-403 on the face of page one, the 8.5 by 11 sheet holding the file mark band and the matching reserve at the foot of the last page, and the acknowledgment that Section 18-12-201 makes the doorway to the record.

No statutory form, and one phrase kept off the page

Arkansas prescribes no quitclaim form, so the instrument is built from the general conveyancing sections and from what its own words do. The covenant words are the ones this deed leaves out. Under Section 18-12-102 a deed built on grant, bargain and sell carries the grantor's promise of an indefeasible fee simple, of freedom from encumbrances the grantor made or suffered, and of quiet enjoyment, unless express words cut them down. Section 10 of this form therefore operates by remise, release, and forever quitclaim and states that no such covenant arises. A mortgage, a tax lien, an easement, or a severed mineral interest survives the filing untouched.

One or two names on each side

The party sections are open blocks rather than fixed recitals. Section 1 takes one or two individuals with whatever status words they state, Section 3 takes one or two grantees with the words describing how they take, and nothing about marriage or ownership is printed in advance. Section 12 carries a signature and date line headed GRANTOR and a second headed SECOND GRANTOR (if applicable), two subscribing witness blocks answering Section 18-12-104, and one acknowledgment certificate for each line, so two signers may appear before different officers on different days; a single grantor fill leaves the second block and its certificate blank. Where a spouse holding no record interest signs that second block, the closing sentence of Section 10 reaches the signer's own dower, curtesy, and homestead right, which is what Section 18-12-403 and Section 28-11-301(b) ask for. Patterns presenting these counts recur in the records: two co-heirs releasing undivided shares to the relative buying them out, an owner adding a second person to the record, and a release of whatever interest an abandoned right of way left standing in a name. A grantor signing for a company, under a power of attorney, or as trustee, and titles with three or more owners on a side, sit outside these blocks.

What the grantee blank decides

Two grantees named with no further words hold as tenants in common, the default Section 18-12-603 supplies for a grant to two or more persons other than executors and trustees as such, and each share then passes through that owner's estate. Survivorship exists where the deed declares it, which Section 18-12-106 permits regardless of marital relationship, and at common law where the grantees are married to each other. The guide walks each ownership form the state recognizes.

Stamps and the identification the counter asks for

Section 11 prints both statutory statements with a blank naming the one that applies: the Section 26-60-110 certification that stamps in the legally correct amount are on the instrument, signed by the grantee or that person's agent, and the sentence stating that the instrument is exempt. Arkansas charges three dollars and thirty cents per thousand dollars of consideration above one hundred dollars, and the guide covers the affidavit route and the exemption list. Since August 5, 2025, Act 752 has conditioned a filing made at the counter or by mail on the grantor's photo identification, subject to the exceptions the statute names.
