Questions answered? Let's get started!
In California, a Mineral Quitclaim Deed (as per Civil Code Sections 1092, 1104-1107, 1113; Government Code Sections 27279-27297.7, 27320-27337) is used for transferring oil, gas, and mineral rights from the grantor to the grantee. It is a transfer of ownership, NOT A LEASE, and does not include exceptions or reservations.
Transfer Details: The deed transfers all kinds of mineral rights, including oil and gas. The grantor has the discretion to specify the percentage of mineral rights the grantee will receive.
Rights Conferred: This deed gives the grantee rights to access the land for mining, drilling, exploration, operation, development, storage, handling, transportation, and marketing of these minerals.
No Title Warranty: The grantor transfers mineral rights without any warranty of title, either express or implied, meaning the grantee accepts the title as it is, with all its potential discrepancies.
Uses: Mineral deeds with quitclaim are often used in situations where the grantor wants to quickly release any interest they might have in mineral rights, such as in settling estates, resolving disputes, clearing up uncertainties about ownership in a title's history or when mineral rights have previously been severed or fragmented from surface rights and cloud a title, making it difficult to transfer property. Resolution often involves the holder(s) of the mineral rights, quit-claiming any rights he/she/they have or might have in the subject property.
Legal Requirements and Recording: The quitclaim deed must be in writing and include the names and addresses of all parties involved, as required by Government Code Sections 27324, 27321.5, 27361.6, and 27288.1. It must be recorded by the County Recorder in the county where the property is located (Civil Code Section 1169) and adhere to California's "race-notice" recording statute (Civil Code Sections 1213-1214).
Formatting and Execution Requirements: The deed must follow specific formatting guidelines (Government Code Section 27361.6) and be executed before two disinterested witnesses. The names of all parties must be legibly signed or printed near the signature (Government Code Sections 27280.5, 27361.6).
Language and Other Considerations: Quitclaim deeds not in English are not suitable for recording (Government Code Section 27293). The deed should also include a complete legal description of the property and the vesting choice of the grantee.
Implications: The use of a quitclaim deed can have a permanent effect on property rights. It is advisable to consult a legal professional to fully understand the implications of executing such a document.

Easy to download. Hopefully easy to fill in. Just wish there was wording for a Beneficiary Deed for moving real estate property owned by a married couple to their Trust upon death of last Trustee.

5 Stars isn't enough! I worked with KVH today (12-30-20) to get some deeds filed in Dallas County before the end of the year. Timing was critical and I thought my only option was to record in person. Someone suggested I try Deeds.com, and I'm very glad I did. KVH provided excellent service. Everything was quick and efficient, and I highly recommend using this service. Thanks!

This was such an easy process and even tho you had to pay a $15 - to me it was well worth not having to drive downtown etc or take the risk of mailing the documents (fearing that they would get lost). I'll be using this from now on...
We appreciate your business and value your feedback. Thank you. Have a wonderful day!

It turned out that I was able to search for what I needed on the local county website, which is what your site suggested be tried. I was impressed with your honesty and practical instructions for searches your site gave. I'm pretty sure I'll be back.
Thank you for your feedback James. Glad to hear we were able to steer you in the right direction.

A better or more simplified explanation of what some of the more common titles would be used for would help. You list 6-8 types of Trusts alone. An example of doing a Grant Deed to move a property into, out of, or from a Trust to a Trust would have been helpful.
Thank you for your feedback. We really appreciate it. Have a great day!
