Questions answered? Let's get started!

An interspousal deed puts a spouse on both sides of the conveyance. The Indiana form here is built around that pairing: one married person signs as grantor and releases an interest in the property to the other spouse, named in the deed as grantee. The form prints one grantor section, one signature block, and one notarial certificate, and the interest it moves crosses from one spouse to the other without any warranty of title.

A Transfer That Stays Inside the Marriage

Indiana measures a spouse's stake in real estate by the record rather than by the marriage certificate. Dower and curtesy are abolished (IC 29-1-2-11), and under IC 29-1-2-3.1 an instrument a married owner executes alone has the same effect as though the spouse had joined in it. What this deed answers is therefore a title question: what the signing spouse holds is what the deed can move. A parcel standing in one spouse's name alone, an undivided share the spouses hold as tenants in common, and a joint tenant's interest are each interests one spouse can release. Real estate the couple holds as tenants by the entireties stands differently: Indiana makes the joint deed of both spouses the instrument that conveys that estate (IC 32-17-3-4), a rule enforced against a spouse acting alone in Beneficial Mortgage Co. of Indiana v. Powers, 550 N.E.2d 793 (Ind. Ct. App. 1990).

How Far a Quitclaim Reaches Between Spouses

The statutory wording comes from IC 32-21-1-15, built on the single verb quitclaims, and IC 32-17-2-2 sets its reach: the release carries all the estate the signer may lawfully convey by a deed of bargain and sale. A spousal quitclaim deed promises nothing about what the grantor owned and does nothing to a mortgage the signing spouse still owes; it places that spouse's recorded interest with the other spouse as of delivery. The conveyance section states that measure, so the instrument reads as the statutory Indiana quit claim deed rather than a warranty deed with its covenants crossed out.

What the Receiving Spouse Ends Up Holding

Because both parties are married to each other, the grantee entry decides the shape of the resulting title. Naming the receiving spouse alone vests the conveyed interest in that spouse in severalty, the pattern behind a search for a deed removing a spouse. Naming both spouses together meets Indiana's presumption that a conveyance of real property to spouses creates a tenancy by the entirety, reaffirmed at IC 32-17-3-1 and applied by the Indiana Supreme Court in Underwood v. Bunger, 70 N.E.3d 338 (Ind. 2017), where express words defeated it. That is the mechanism behind adding a spouse to a deed after a marriage.

One Grantor Section, One Certificate

One grantor is recited, executing in an individual capacity, and the deed itself states that the two parties are married to each other. The signature block carries the printed name line IC 36-2-11-16(c) requires, and one acknowledgment certificate follows it. Record patterns presenting this configuration include a dissolution settlement under which one spouse's interest goes to the spouse keeping the home, an undivided tenancy in common share consolidating in one spouse's name, and a married owner placing a separately titled parcel into both spouses' names. The form is not set up for real estate already titled in both spouses, for grantors who are not married to each other, for an entity or trustee grantor, or for a deed executed under a power of attorney.

The Filing Question an Interspousal Transfer Raises

Consideration decides whether a sales disclosure form travels with the deed. IC 6-1.1-5.5-1 defines a conveyance as a transfer of a real property interest for valuable consideration, so a gift between spouses falls outside the chapter and no disclosure form is filed, while a transfer compelled by a divorce is a covered conveyance document that carries no disclosure filing fee. The auditor's taxation endorsement under IC 36-2-11-14 remains a condition of recording, the recorder's charge for a deed is the statewide twenty five dollars of IC 36-2-7-10, and Indiana levies no transfer tax. Under IC 32-21-4-1 a recorded deed takes its priority from the time of filing.

From Pennsylvania here. Documents are great and easy to fill out however you are lacking a couple of things. You only provide the option for a Grant Deed when you purchase by your county which is Mercer County for me. Why not give the ability to get a Warranty Deed that better protects the Grantee? Also, being from Pennsylvania and in a county that mined Buituminous Coal we are required to include the Coal Severance Notice and Bituminous Mine Subsidence and Land Conservation Act Notice. You can check the box on your Deed form that they are required and attached but you do not provide the verbiage or form for this. You state that you know what each county requires and include everything required but you do not include these two required Notices. This has been a requirement for years and the wording never changes. I had to look for these Notices and hand type this information and include it on another seperate page after the Notary section on the Deed. The Grantor has to sign the Coal Severance Notice and be witnessed by a Notary so I had to add another place for the Notary and will have to pay twice for witnessed signatures when it could have been included in your document. My Deed from 2003 was done that way and then the Notary statement after that so it was only one notarized witness of signature.

Deeds.com was easy to use and their easement deed was exactly what I was looking for. I knew I didn't need to spend hundreds of dollars talking to an attorney.

After my county rejected a deed from another company, I researched better and purchased my Lady Bird Deed from Deeds.com. Very simple, received everything immediately. Printed out sample and guide sheets and filled out my deed. Very thorough and easy to understand. All the additional forms were awesome. And the best part is, my county recorded my deed this morning! WooHoo! Very happy customer! Thank you!

You dont really know what your buying until after you spend the money. Cant use any of them

Reply from Staff

Thank you for your feedback. Best practice is to know what you need before purchasing. Buying legal documents should not be a exploratory endeavor. Your order has been canceled. We do hope that you find something more suitable to your needs elsewhere.
