Otero County Quitclaim Deed (Two Grantors) Form

Two grantors, one recorded instrument: this Colorado quitclaim deed is configured for exactly two natural persons who sign as individuals, each releasing to the grantee whatever right, title, and interest that grantor holds at delivery. The form carries a numbered section for each grantor, a signature and date line for each, and an acknowledgment certificate for each signer, built on the statutory quitclaim wording in C.R.S. 38-30-113(1)(d).

Both interests move together

Each grantor conveys only that grantor's own interest, and the deed makes no promise about what either of them owns. Where the two grantors together hold the entire record title, the whole title passes in one instrument; where they hold undivided shares, both shares pass in the single conveyance. Two siblings who took equal interests in an inherited parcel and pass the whole of it to one relative, two joint tenants or tenants in common ending a co-ownership, and co-owners consolidating title in a single name present the two-grantor pattern this deed recites. The completed example follows the inheritance pattern: two co-owners in Jefferson County quitclaim to one relative who already lives at the property.

Quitclaim wording with a plural subject

Colorado's statutory quitclaim form, sometimes written quit claim deed, works by substitution: warranty words are omitted and quitclaim(s) takes the place of convey(s). This form performs that conveyance with both grantors as its subject. The two grantors, and each of them, sell and quitclaim to the grantee everything they hold in the described property, with all its appurtenances, and the deed states its statutory character on its face: no covenants of warranty of any kind, and no after-acquired title, so an interest either grantor picks up later stays with that grantor. The grantee takes exactly what the two held at delivery, whether that is the whole title, two undivided shares, or nothing at all.

Two signatures, two certificates

The form recites exactly two grantors, natural persons conveying in their individual capacities. Each grantor signs and dates that grantor's own line, and the deed carries a separate acknowledgment certificate for each signer on the statutory short form, so the two grantors are free to acknowledge on different dates, before different notarial officers, in different counties or different states. In the completed example, one grantor acknowledges in Jefferson County and the other in the City and County of Denver, two days apart. The form is not set up for a sole owner, for three or more grantors, or for an entity, trustee, or attorney-in-fact signature; each of those follows a different execution pattern.

Recording in the property's county

The finished deed goes to the clerk and recorder of the county where the land lies, and Colorado's race-notice recording act makes promptness count: an unrecorded deed loses to a competing claimant who records first without notice of it. The grantee entry on this form asks for a complete legal address because Colorado's recording statute sends a deed back unrecorded without one, and the property sections keep the street address and the assessor's schedule or parcel number beside the legal description the way the identification statute contemplates. The state documentary fee reaches only conveyances whose total consideration tops five hundred dollars, and a Real Property Transfer Declaration travels with the recording package; the guide covers both alongside the county recording fee.
