Questions answered? Let's get started!

Two blanks on this Kansas quitclaim deed decide more than the rest of the page put together, and neither carries a word of preprinting. The grantor line takes one or two people signing in their own names. The grantee line takes one or two people, plus whatever co-ownership words the parties write after them, and Kansas supplies a result for silence: a deed naming two grantees and saying nothing further leaves them tenants in common. This is the general Kansas quitclaim deed, the form shoppers reach for typing quit claim deed, or quick claim deed, into a search box.

What the grantee line decides

K.S.A. 58-501 is the governing sentence. A grant or devise to two or more persons, including a grant to a married pair, creates a tenancy in common unless the language used in the instrument makes clear that a joint tenancy was intended. Kansas threw out the old presumption favoring joint tenancy in 1891 and abolished estates by the entirety with it, so no family relationship supplies survivorship. The statute also settles a fight the older deeds produced: where the granting clause clearly grants a joint tenancy, an inconsistent habendum clause does not undo it. The annotated decisions mark the boundary: in Spresser v. Langmade, 199 Kan. 96, an introductory clause reading as joint tenants with the right of survivorship and not as tenants in common controlled, while or survivor language alone fell short in Swingle. Open party lines exist because in Kansas those written words, rather than the deed's title, perform the vesting.

A conveyance that promises nothing

The transfer runs on a sentence from 1887: K.S.A. 58-2204 asks that the instrument read in substance that A.B. quitclaims to C.D., describing the premises, for the sum inserted, duly signed and acknowledged. What moves is the grantor's right, title, and interest at delivery. Absent is every covenant K.S.A. 58-2203 fastens to the words conveys and warrants, from seizin through the duty to defend. K.S.A. 58-2202 still carries the grantor's entire estate across unless the deed expressly shows a smaller one. Recording supplies what the missing covenants do not, since K.S.A. 58-2222 makes a filed instrument notice of its contents from the moment of filing.

One or two signers, on either side

Ten numbered sections gather the parties, the tax statement address K.S.A. 58-2221 routes to the county clerk, the consideration, the property, the vesting instrument, matters of record, and the sales validation statement, before Section 9 quitclaims and Section 10 takes the signatures. Two signature blocks are drawn, headed GRANTOR and SECOND GRANTOR, each above a printed name line in the manner K.S.A. 28-115(c) contemplates, each followed by its own certificate in the K.A.R. 7-43-17(a)(1) individual short form. On a one-grantor deed the second block and its certificate stay blank; on a two-grantor deed they let the acknowledgments be taken on different days before different officers. Where a married owner's land is occupied homestead, Article 15, Section 9 of the Kansas Constitution and K.S.A. 60-2301 condition an alienation on the joint consent of husband and wife, and the second block carries the consenting spouse's acknowledged signature. No capacity beyond the individual appears anywhere on the form: an entity name with an officer's authorization, a fiduciary office, and an agent under a power of attorney each belong to a differently built instrument, as does an arrangement for three or more owners on one side.

At the register of deeds

Two intake items decide whether a Kansas deed goes on record. K.S.A. 79-1437c keeps a transfer of title off the books unless the Department of Revenue sales validation questionnaire rides along, or a K.S.A. 79-1437e exemption is written onto the instrument by the parties, the register of deeds having no authority to add it. Section 8 holds that entry either way. County schedules under K.S.A. 28-115 publish twenty-one dollars for the first page and seventeen for each additional page, and Kansas imposes no deed transfer tax. The page is drawn for that counter: letter size, three inches open at the top of page one for the recording stamp, one inch margins, twelve point type.

The download delivers the fillable Kansas quitclaim deed, a completed example in which two Douglas County grantors release a platted Lawrence lot to two grantees taking with survivorship, and a guide covering the ten sections, the co-ownership rules behind the grantee line, the consent statutes, notarization, and recording. These materials describe Kansas law in general terms and are not legal advice.

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.

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

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.

This is the first time I am filling out a legal form downloaded from a website. Throughly impressed with the detailed explanation along with sample forms to help a novice like me to fill out the actual form. I will remember to go to your site if I need in the future and have already recommended your site to others. Thanks for an excellent job.

If I hadn't spent my career as an escrow officer (albeit in another state), I may have had a hard time figuring out exactly which deed I needed and how to prepare them, even with the back-up informational, how-to pdf documents, without an attorney. My experience speaks to how much the general public doesn't understand and how confusing it can be. Nonetheless, the access to so many documents at a fairly reasonable cost, the basic how-to docs made available along with the purchased doc makes all the difference. I appreciate having such things available to the public. Many thanks.

I purchased the Notice of Completion form because the City of Chula Vista did not have a "fillable" version of this form on their website. The Deeds.com version of this form is somewhat different than the City's version (8 numbered paragraphs vs. 11 numbered paragraphs.) However, it contains the same information in a different format. This form provided more blank space to fill in important items- like a long ownership name- than the version on the City's website. The recorder's office was satisfied with this form as I hand-delivered it to the Recorder's Office and they approved it for recording. Overall, I found this form easy to use and found the extra blank space for writing on the form helpful. My one comment for possible improvement is: it would be even more helpful (particularly for attorney users) to have strike-out capability. I would have liked having the ability to strike-out inapplicable portions of long awkward sentences. Still, I would use this form again.
