Questions answered? Let's get started!

An Indiana quitclaim deed transfers any interest the grantor may have in a property without guaranteeing clear title. To ensure lawful execution and recording, the deed must meet specific state requirements.

Legal Framework

Under IC 32-17-2-2, a quitclaim deed transfers the grantor's interest in the property. The execution requirements are outlined in:

- IC 32-21-1
- IC 32-21-2-3
- IC 32-21-13
- IC 36-2-11-15

Written Document: The deed must be in writing and signed by the grantor or an authorized agent.

Names and Addresses: Include the names and addresses of all grantors and grantees. Ensure consistency in names throughout the document to avoid rejection by the recorder's office.

Consideration: State the type and amount of consideration (usually money).

Legal Description: Provide a complete legal description of the property.

Signatures: All signatures must be original and notarized, with the signer's name typed or printed below the signature.

Return Address: Include a return address (typically the grantee) for receiving the recorded deed and future tax bills.

Preparer Information: Include the preparer's name and social security number statement.

Formatting Standards
According to IC 36-2-11-14 and IC 36-2-11-16.5, the deed must:

Be endorsed by the county auditor before recordation.

Be printed on white paper (20 lb. minimum weight), no larger than legal size (8" x 14").

Be typed or computer-generated in permanent black ink, minimum 10-point font.

Have margins of at least ½ inch on all sides, except the first and last pages, which require 2-inch top and bottom margins.

Recording Process
Under IC 32-21-4-1, Indiana follows a "race-notice" recording statute. To record a quitclaim deed:

County Recording: The deed must be recorded in the county where the property is located.

Public Record Entry: Upon acceptance, the county recorder stamps the deed with the date and time of filing and enters it into the public record.

Constructive Notice: This public record serves as constructive notice to interested parties and preserves the chain of title.

Priority Ranking: The stamped date and time establish the deed's priority against other claims on the property. Recording promptly is crucial to secure the grantee's interest.

Importance of Timely Recording
Recording the quitclaim deed immediately after execution protects the grantee's interests. In a "race-notice" jurisdiction, the first party to record the deed has priority. For example, if the grantor sells the same property to two different parties, the party who records their deed first generally retains ownership. Therefore, prompt recording is essential to avoid disputes and ensure clear title.

Conclusion
To comply with Indiana law, follow these detailed requirements when preparing and recording a quitclaim deed. Proper execution and timely recording ensure a smooth transfer of property interests and protect all parties involved in the transaction.

I had a great experience using Deeds.com to file my legal document. The whole process was simple and easy to follow. The website walks you through each step, and everything is explained clearly. At one point, I had to resubmit my documents, but even that was quick and easy. There were clear instructions, and I had no trouble making the changes and sending them again. The communication was great too. I was kept updated the whole time, and any questions I had were answered fast. If you need to file legal documents and want a stress-free way to do it, I definitely recommend Deeds.com. They made the whole process smooth from start to finish.

I bought a Quitclaim Deed package for Fayette County, Kentucky, to transfer my house into a Living Trust that I had set up previously. Creating my Quitclaim Deed was pretty straightforward, using the form, the instructions, and the sample Quitclaim Deed. I signed my Quitclaim Deed at a nearby Notary Public, then took it to the Fayette County Clerk's office to be recorded. The clerk there asked me to make two small changes to the Quitclaim Deed, which she let me do in pen on the spot: * In the signature block for the receiver of the property, filled in "Capacity" as "Grantee as Trustee ______________________________ Living Trust". * In the notary's section, changed "were acknowledged before me" to "were acknowledged and sworn to before me".
