Questions answered? Let's get started!

Two owners can release their interests in California real property through one instrument, and this form is built for exactly that: a California quitclaim deed with two grantor blocks, two signature lines, and a notary certificate for each signer. Each grantor gives up whatever right, title, and interest that grantor holds in the described property, without any warranty, and the grantee takes both interests through a single recorded deed.

Built Around Two Releasing Owners

The form recites exactly two grantors, each an individual signing personally. Sections 4 and 5 carry one grantor apiece, with the name, the customary status description, and a mailing address; the signature section carries a line for each; and two Civil Code Section 1189 acknowledgment certificates follow, each headed by the statutory boxed notice. Because each certificate stands alone, the two grantors are free to appear before different notaries, in different counties, on different dates; the completed example records one acknowledgment in Placer County and the second in Nevada County three days later. California law does not require separate certificates for co-signers, so the twin certificates are the form's architecture, sized to how two-grantor deeds actually get signed.

Ownership Patterns With Two Grantors

Two-grantor quitclaims appear throughout California's records: two co-owners consolidating title in one name, two heirs releasing undivided inherited shares to a single relative, and married couples conveying community real property, where Family Code Section 1102 calls for both spouses to join in the conveyance and the deed's two signature lines carry that joinder on its face. The same two-line architecture serves registered domestic partners, whom Family Code Section 297.5 places on equal footing with spouses. A grantor conveying separate property signs without a spouse, and the status descriptions in the grantor blocks state each signer's capacity; the completed example pairs an unmarried grantor with a married grantor conveying her sole and separate property.

No Warranty, and No More Than Each Grantor Holds

A quitclaim, sometimes written as a quit claim deed, carries no covenants. This deed says so expressly: no covenant or warranty of title, express or implied, and no implied covenant under Civil Code Section 1113, which attaches covenants only to the statutory word grant. Each grantor conveys the interest held at delivery, and the operative section states the traditional California rule that later-acquired title does not follow a quitclaim. Where the two grantors hold unequal shares, the deed does not need to say so; the release reaches whatever each one holds.

One Declaration, One Recording

However many grantors sign, the recorder sees one taxable event. The documentary transfer tax declaration prints in the body of the form with its own signature line for the declarant, the single party or agent who determines the tax under Revenue and Taxation Code Sections 11932 and 11933; consideration, gift, or exemption, the declaration speaks once for both released interests. The first page lays out the entries California recorders check at intake, from the reserved recording space and return address block of Government Code Section 27361.6 to the future tax statement address of Government Code Section 27321.5 and an assessor's parcel number line. The deed records with the county recorder where the land sits, accompanied by a Preliminary Change of Ownership Report signed by the transferee.

The download delivers this two-grantor configuration complete: a fillable quitclaim deed PDF, a completed example filled in for a Placer County gift between family members, and a plain language guide covering each section, the notarization for two signers, and the recording fees and filings. The materials describe California law in general terms and are not legal advice for any particular transfer.

The forms that I downloaded from Deeds were perfect for what I needed. I even checked with a lawyer to see if the papers would work and she said yes.

So far so good! I haven't had an opportunity to populate the forms but they seem to be very easy to do. The sample deed serves very well. Ordering the forms were very easy, I was impressed with the ease of doing so.

The experience was generally very satisfactory. I was able to fill out the Trust Deed and send it via email no problem. However, I was not able to send the filled out form of the Note. It always erased my fill-ins when it was sent. I found that very frustrating.

Reply from Staff

Thank you, Gordon. Glad the Trust Deed worked well. Issues like the one you reported with the Note can sometimes be related to how the file is opened or sent. Using Adobe Reader to fill, save, and send the form is recommended. We also pass along all feedback like this to our team to confirm there are no issues.

The release of mortgage form was OK, and accepted at the recorder's office, but there were some problems. Many of the fields to type in were too small to accept the data, and I could not find a way to change the field size or use a smaller font. Otherwise I was satisfied.
