Questions answered? Let's get started!
This Illinois quitclaim deed is built for one grantor: a single individual releasing whatever interest that person holds in Illinois real estate to the grantee named in the deed. The form carries one grantor signature line and one acknowledgment certificate, and it prepares the recording package details, from the preparer statement to the transfer tax notation, that Illinois county recorders screen for at the counter.
The statutory words that release an interest
Illinois gives the quitclaim deed its own statutory form. Under 765 ILCS 5/10, the grantor, for the stated consideration, conveys and quit claims to the grantee all interest in the described real estate, and a deed in substance in that form operates as a conveyance, release, and quitclaim in fee of all the legal and equitable rights the grantor then holds. The statute attaches no warranty covenants, and the deed does not reach title the grantor acquires later unless words are added expressing that intention. This form prints the statutory operative words, the express no-warranty statement, and the homestead release clause the Conveyances Act requires to be stated rather than implied, with an additional provisions section for a reservation, a co-ownership designation, or express after-acquired-title wording where a transfer calls for it.
One grantor, one signature, one certificate
The deed recites exactly one individual grantor and conveys that grantor's entire interest, whatever share the records show it to be. A relative passing an interest within the family, a former co-owner releasing a share after a divorce or buyout, an owner moving title into or out of a revocable trust, and a record owner clearing a stray interest from the chain of title all present the single-grantor pattern this deed recites; a quitclaim deed recorded solely to reflect the owner's legal name change, with the same individual as grantor and grantee, now records free of the county fee under a 2026 amendment. The form is not set up as a two-grantor instrument: a married grantor conveying an occupied homestead to someone other than a spouse presents a two-signature homestead pattern under 735 ILCS 5/12-904 that a single signature line does not carry, and the guide walks through that distinction with citations.
The entries Illinois recorders screen for
Illinois recording law bars a deed from the record without certain face-of-document content, and the form collects each item: the preparer's name and address under 55 ILCS 5/3-5022, the grantee's name and mailing address under 55 ILCS 5/3-5026, the name and address for future tax bills under 765 ILCS 5/35c, the return-to block, and the recorder's document number of the prior vesting instrument. The layout follows the statewide format standards, with half-inch clean margins and the blank 3 by 5 inch recorder's space at the upper right corner of the first page, so the printed deed presents as a standard-class document on the county fee schedule.
Transfer declaration or exemption notation
Every Illinois deed answers the transfer tax question one of two ways. A taxable transfer is accompanied by the PTAX-203 declaration or its MyDec electronic equivalent, with state tax of 50 cents per $500 of value, county tax where imposed, and municipal stamps where a home rule ordinance applies. An exempt transfer records with a dated and signed exemption notation on the face of the deed instead, and the form prints that notation with a blank for the paragraph of 35 ILCS 200/31-45 claimed; the completed example shows paragraph (e), the exemption for transfers with actual consideration under $100 that covers most family quit claim deed transfers.
What arrives with the download
The package contains the fillable quitclaim deed form, a completed example showing the entire document filled in for a realistic Sangamon County transfer, and a plain-language guide that describes every numbered section, the signing and notarization steps, and the county recording process. The materials are informational and are not legal advice; an Illinois attorney can address how these rules operate on a specific title.

We had hoped, as this was direct through our State recorder's office, State-specific data would be pre-filled in. Also there is no help when transferring the home title from a Revocable Trust to the living Trustee and new spouse (no example given, no help for which code to use). And the example doesn't match the prior deed revision format submitted by our attorney. So, not the best experience. We may have to get an attorney involved...what we were hoping to avoid
Thank you for your feedback. We really appreciate it. Have a great day!

My legal description exceeds the avaiable space in the one page Exhibit A...any way to add a second page as 'Exhibit A (continued)'?
It is not required to use the included exhibit page. Simply label your printed legal description as the appropriate exhibit.
