Logan County Quitclaim Deed (Individual Grantor) Form

A Colorado quitclaim deed signed by one individual grantor releases whatever right, title, and interest that grantor holds in the described property, and nothing more. This fillable form prepares that deed for a single natural person signing in an individual capacity, with one signature line and one acknowledgment certificate, under Section 38-30-113(1)(d) of the Colorado Revised Statutes.

A release of interest, not a promise of title

A quitclaim deed, often typed as a quit claim deed in searches, carries no covenants of warranty. The grantee receives exactly the interest the grantor holds at delivery, if any, with no promise that the title is good, unencumbered, or defensible. That character is what makes the instrument common where the parties already know the title or already share it: transfers between family members, conveyances completing a divorce property division, movements of title into or out of a grantor's own trust or company, and corrective conveyances that clear a cloud from the record all appear in Colorado practice on quitclaim deeds.

Sells and quitclaims: the statutory wording

Colorado writes its deed forms into statute. Under Section 38-30-113(1)(d), a deed in substantially the statutory form that omits words of warranty and substitutes quitclaim(s) for convey(s) is a quitclaim deed without covenants of warranty, and it passes no after-acquired title of the grantor. The after-acquired title point is the working line between Colorado's two no-warranty deeds: a bargain and sale deed also conveys without covenants but passes title the grantor gains later, while a quitclaim deed does not. This form performs the conveyance with the statutory substitution, sells and quitclaims, and states the no-warranty and no-after-acquired-title character on its face.

One grantor, one signature, one certificate

The form recites exactly one grantor, a natural person conveying in an individual capacity. It carries a single signature and date line and one notary acknowledgment certificate on Colorado's statutory short form, which reads that the record was acknowledged before the officer on a stated date by the named individual. The form is not set up for two grantors, for an entity or trustee grantor, or for signing through an attorney-in-fact; each of those presents a different execution pattern than this deed recites.

Colorado's marital property rules leave the single signature intact in the ordinary case. Dower and curtesy are abolished, tenancy by the entirety does not exist in Colorado real property, and an owner conveys automatically homesteaded property free of homestead rights without another person's signature. The exception the guide documents is a recorded homestead declaration, after which both spouses sign a conveyance of the declared homestead.

Recording with the clerk and recorder

The completed deed is recorded with the clerk and recorder of the county where the property is located, and recording is what protects the grantee's priority under Colorado's race-notice recording act. Two Colorado details do real work at the counter. First, a deed that omits the grantee's legal address is returned unrecorded under Section 38-35-109(2), so the grantee entry carries a full legal address. Second, Section 38-35-122 places the property's street address immediately next to the legal description, and the form's property section follows that arrangement, with a line for the assessor's parcel number as a further identification aid. The base recording fee is 40 dollars plus statutory surcharges, quoted as 43 dollars on many county fee pages, and the state documentary fee applies only when the consideration exceeds 500 dollars. A Real Property Transfer Declaration accompanies a conveyance presented for recording; the guide walks through it with the rest of the recording package.

The purchase delivers the quitclaim deed as a fillable PDF, a completed example showing the deed filled in for a realistic Arapahoe County fact pattern, and a guide that describes every numbered section, the notarization, and the recording steps. The materials are informational and are not legal advice.
