Questions answered? Let's get started!
This is a Connecticut quitclaim deed set up for one individual grantor: a single owner releasing whatever interest that owner holds to the person or people named as grantee. The form carries one grantor section, one signature line, the two witness lines Connecticut deeds require, and one acknowledgment certificate, so the entire execution belongs to a single signer.
A quitclaim with a covenant inside it
Connecticut wrote its quitclaim deed into statute. Section 47-36c of the General Statutes supplies a short statutory form built on the words 'for consideration paid, grant to ... with QUITCLAIM COVENANTS,' and this deed performs its conveyance with exactly those operative words. Under Section 47-36f, a duly executed quitclaim deed conveys all of the releasor's right, title, and interest in the described property, except as limited in the deed, without any covenants of title; the same section lets the form release a mortgage, attachment, or judgment lien of record.
The phrase 'with quitclaim covenants' does quiet work that a bare release in some other states does not. Section 47-36g defines it: the grantor covenants that the premises are free from encumbrances made or suffered by the grantor, and that the grantor will warrant and defend against everyone claiming by, from, or under the grantor. The covenant stops at the grantor's own acts; earlier defects in the chain of title pass with the property. That balance, a real but narrow covenant, is what distinguishes the Connecticut quit claim deed from both a bare release and a full warranty instrument.
One grantor, one signature line, two witnesses
The form recites exactly one individual grantor; a conveyance from co-owners, from an entity, from a trustee, or from an estate fiduciary presents a different signing pattern than this deed recites. The grantee side stays flexible: the grantee section accepts one or more grantees, and where two or more take together, Connecticut reads a deed without survivorship words as creating a tenancy in common, with the words 'as joint tenants' after the names producing a statutory joint tenancy with right of survivorship. The guide walks through each recognized vesting, including Connecticut's rule that tenancy by the entirety wording yields a statutory joint tenancy.
Execution follows Section 47-5: the grantor signs, two witnesses attest, and the grantor acknowledges the deed before a notary public, a Connecticut attorney, or another officer listed in Section 1-29. Connecticut courts treat the two-witness requirement seriously, and the grantor and grantee do not serve as witnesses. The certificate on this form tracks the statutory short form in Section 1-34, and printed-name lines sit beneath every signature because Section 7-34a adds a fee for each signature without a typed, printed, or stamped name under it. Transfers between relatives, transfers under a divorce decree, and transfers into or out of a family trust arrangement are the settings where this single-grantor pattern appears in the land records.
Recording with the town clerk, not a county
Connecticut land records live in the towns. The deed is recorded with the town clerk of the town where the property lies, and under Section 47-10 an unrecorded deed binds no one except the grantor and the grantor's heirs. The first page of the form carries the return address block at the top, where Section 7-24(f) places it, and the layout keeps the statutory three-quarter inch margins with room to spare. Recording runs seventy dollars for the first page and five dollars for each additional page under the fee schedule effective July 1, 2025, and a deed conveying for two thousand dollars or more travels with Connecticut's OP-236 conveyance tax return, which the town clerk collects along with the state and municipal conveyance tax before a taxable deed records.
The download delivers the blank deed as a fillable PDF, a completed example showing the whole document filled in for a realistic Connecticut fact pattern, and a plain-language guide that explains every numbered section, the witness and acknowledgment mechanics, and the recording and conveyance tax steps; the materials are informational and are not legal advice.

I would not have ordered this form had I realised how limited the fields are for details. There is no room for elaboration of terms. The language only allows one grantor and one grantee, and the gender and quantity default construction is a poor choice. Be basic, but leave room for more.
Thank you for your feedback. We really appreciate it. Have a great day!

re: Transfer Upon Death Deed For Valencia County, NM, why not have ONE button to download all necessary forms? Individual buttons are tedious.
Thank you for your feedback David. The short answer is because not everyone needs all the forms. We will look into adding an option for downloading all the provided documents at once.

Requires you work in Adobe Acrobat. Too difficult to edit, add and erase for an attorney.
Sorry to hear of your struggle. We do hope that you find something more suitable to your needs elsewhere. Have a wonderful day.
