Cloud County Quitclaim Deed (Two Grantors) Form

This fillable Kansas quitclaim deed is built for two grantors. Both owners join in a single instrument, each signs above a printed-name line, and a separate acknowledgment certificate follows for each signature, so the two signers can appear before different notarial officers, in different counties, on different dates. Each grantor's own right, title, and interest at delivery passes to the grantee through the short statutory wording of K.S.A. 58-2204; customers searching for a quit claim deed or a quick claim deed for two owners are looking at the same Kansas instrument.

Two signatures, two certificates, one instrument

The form recites exactly two individual grantors acting personally, then collects the grantee, the mailing address Kansas routes to the county tax rolls, the consideration, the county and legal description, the street address, the source of title, an informational listing of matters of record, the sales validation statement, and the operative conveyance, across twelve numbered sections. Each signature block includes a printed-name line reflecting the typed-name practice of K.S.A. 28-115(c), and each certificate follows the current Kansas short form in K.A.R. 7-43-17, completed entirely by the officer who takes that grantor's acknowledgment. Ownership patterns presenting this configuration include two co-owners joining to pass their combined interests in one recording, two heirs conveying inherited fractional shares, and co-owners consolidating a shared title into a single name. The form carries no trustee, entity, or attorney-in-fact recitals, and a release signed by a single owner follows a different architecture than the two-signature layout here.

Joint consent, written into the signature lines

Kansas homestead law gives the two-grantor layout particular work to do. Article 15, section 9 of the Kansas Constitution and K.S.A. 60-2301 bar alienation of an occupied homestead without the joint consent of husband and wife when that relation exists, and the Kansas annotations treat that consent as personal: a power of attorney to one spouse was not enough in Wallace v. Insurance Co., 54 Kan. 442. A married couple conveying the home place therefore presents a two-signature transaction by constitutional design, and this deed puts both signatures, and both certificates, on one instrument. Outside the homestead, K.S.A. 59-505 protects a surviving spouse in real estate disposed of during the marriage without written consent; a spouse who signs as the second grantor supplies that consent in the deed itself.

What two grantors pass together

Under K.S.A. 58-2202, a Kansas conveyance moves the grantor's whole estate unless the deed shows a lesser one, and the quitclaim form does that without covenants: no promise of ownership, no warranty against encumbrances, no duty to defend. Each grantor releases an independent interest, so the grantee collects whatever the two of them hold, whether that is the entire fee, two undivided halves, or fractional shares left over from an estate. Recording then does the protective work; a deed filed with the register of deeds imparts notice from the time of filing under K.S.A. 58-2222, while an unrecorded deed binds only the parties and those with actual notice under K.S.A. 58-2223.

Two certificates at the recording counter

Kansas registers of deeds look for three things with a two-grantor quitclaim. First, the sales validation questionnaire regime of K.S.A. 79-1437c: a completed questionnaire travels with the deed, or a K.S.A. 79-1437e exemption is stated on the face of the deed in the space the form provides, because the register cannot supply that statement at filing. Second, acknowledgment of both signatures, since an unacknowledged conveyance is not entitled to record. Third, the fee under K.S.A. 28-115, published on county schedules at 21 dollars for the first page and 17 dollars for each additional page, with no deed transfer tax anywhere in Kansas. The page layout anticipates the county format sheets: letter size, a 3 inch recording reserve on page one, 1 inch side margins, and 12 point type.

The purchase delivers this two-grantor quitclaim deed as a fillable PDF, a completed example showing a Douglas County conveyance by two sibling co-owners with the gift exemption stated on the deed, and a guide that walks the twelve sections, the homestead consent rules, the notarization of both signatures, and the recording steps. The materials describe Kansas law in general terms and are not legal advice.
