Questions answered? Let's get started!

One grantor, one signature line, one acknowledgment certificate: this Illinois warranty deed recites a single individual owner and conveys real estate with the full covenants of the statutory form in 765 ILCS 5/9. The package prepares the deed as a fillable PDF for one natural person holding record title alone, joined by a completed example and a plain language guide built around Illinois recording law.

The covenants behind conveys and warrants

Illinois attaches its general warranty to two words. A deed in substance in the Section 9 statutory form, using the words conveys and warrants, is deemed and held a conveyance in fee simple with covenants that the grantor was the lawful owner of an indefeasible estate in fee simple with good right and full power to convey, that the premises were free from all encumbrances, and that the grantor warrants quiet and peaceable possession and will defend the title against all lawful claims. Those covenants reach the property's entire ownership history, not only the grantor's own years in title. That reach is why the form carries a dedicated exceptions section: an easement of record, subdivision covenants, or current year taxes meant to ride through the sale appear there as express exceptions, because Illinois courts have enforced the covenant against encumbrances according to its statutory terms even for encumbrances created before the grantor owned the property.

One individual grantor, with the homestead waiver on the face

The configuration is the product. The grantor section recites one natural person by name, marital status, and place of residence in the statutory style; the execution section carries a single signature line with the typed name below it that 765 ILCS 5/35c describes; and a single notary certificate follows, carrying the substance of the statutory acknowledgment form in 765 ILCS 5/26. The operative section prints the express homestead release, hereby releasing and waiving all rights under and by virtue of the homestead exemption laws of this State, inserted after the words State of Illinois exactly where 765 ILCS 5/27 places it, since without an express clause no Illinois deed releases the homestead estate. An unmarried seller, and a sole owner conveying property that is not an occupied marital homestead, present the one signature pattern this deed recites. A married grantor conveying homestead property presents a two signature pattern, with the spouse joining to release homestead under 735 ILCS 5/12-904, that this form is not set up to carry.

Screened content the recorder looks for, already on the form

Illinois recorders screen deeds for statutory content beyond the conveyance itself, and the form carries each item in a labeled place: the preparer statement 55 ILCS 5/3-5022 requires on the face of the instrument, the grantee name and address 55 ILCS 5/3-5026 makes a recording condition, the return address of 55 ILCS 5/3-5020.5, the future tax bill endorsement of 765 ILCS 5/35c, the permanent index number, and a prior instrument reference identifying the deed the grantor took title by. The page layout follows the county fee statutes: letter size paper, half inch clean margins on every page, and a blank space of at least 3 inches by 5 inches from the upper right corner of the first page for the recorder, per 55 ILCS 5/3-5018.2.

The transfer declaration that travels with the deed

An Illinois deed records as a package. The recorder may not accept it without the real estate transfer declaration, Form PTAX-203 or its MyDec electronic equivalent, and the state transfer tax of fifty cents per five hundred dollars of value under 35 ILCS 200/31-20 and 31-25; counties may add a quarter of that rate, and home rule municipalities with certified ordinances require their own stamps before recording. Exempt transfers under 35 ILCS 200/31-45 instead carry an exemption notation on the face of the deed, and the form provides a labeled space for that notation. The guide's recording section describes the declaration, the stamps, the flat recording fees, and the extra items Cook County adds for its population class.

The download delivers three pieces: the blank warranty deed as a fillable PDF, a completed example showing every section filled in for a realistic DuPage County sale, and a guide that walks through each numbered section, the signing and notarization rules, and the recording package. The materials describe Illinois law in general terms and are not legal advice.

mostly good; however, you need to update the annual exclusion gift amount from $14,000 to $15,000 (where it has ben for several years), and you need to make your Gift Deed final paragraph be gender neutral like "they" or "he or she" rather than just"he". We women lawyers and our women clients appreciate that.

I am a civil engineer, not an attorney. I deal with easements on a regular basis but not so much on the "recording" side of things. I normally prepare the graphic exhibits that accompany the dedication language but I am not the one who provides that language. Your forms solved that issue for me. Thanks.

This site was easy to use for access to State forms for filing in Montmorency County clerks office. Not only did I find claim form but a sample claim was available for assisting on how to complete your form correctly. Found this so very useful for us (public resident) to fill in the form as a .PDF file that prints out typed form - rather than handwritten entries. There is a fee but your access is always available on internet to this site in the future. Saved me time using this site and My filed form looks professional. You have access to several other forms if needed.
