Logan County Quitclaim Deed Form

This fillable Kansas quitclaim deed is set up for one individual grantor: a single owner signs it, one acknowledgment certificate follows the signature, and the deed carries whatever interest that owner holds to the grantee, with no promises about what that interest is. The form follows K.S.A. 58-2204, the one-sentence statutory pattern Kansas has used since 1887, in which the grantor simply quitclaims the described real estate for the stated consideration. The instrument is also searched as a quit claim deed or a quick claim deed; Kansas law spells it quitclaim.

Interest, if any: what a Kansas quitclaim moves

A Kansas warranty deed built on the statutory words conveys and warrants carries implied covenants of seizin, right to convey, quiet possession, freedom from encumbrances, and warranty of title under K.S.A. 58-2203. A quitclaim deed carries none of them. It passes the grantor's right, title, and interest as of delivery, and the case law annotated under the quitclaim statute puts the point plainly: a quitclaim deed does not guarantee that the owner has anything. That trade is the instrument's purpose. Where a deed exists to release an interest rather than to promise one, the absence of covenants keeps the transaction clean, and the grantee measures the title by the county record rather than by the deed. The recording acts treat the instrument evenhandedly: under K.S.A. 58-2222 a recorded conveyance imparts notice from the time of filing, under K.S.A. 58-2223 an unrecorded one binds only the parties and persons with actual notice, and the Kansas annotations report recorded quitclaims taken for value prevailing over earlier unrecorded deeds.

One grantor, one signature, one certificate

The form recites exactly one individual grantor acting personally. Eleven numbered sections collect the parties, the mailing address for tax statements that K.S.A. 58-2221 contemplates, the consideration, the county and legal description, the source of title, an informational list of matters affecting title, the sales validation statement, and the operative conveyance. A single signature block carries a printed name line, matching the typed-name practice of K.S.A. 28-115(c), and the acknowledgment certificate follows the Kansas short form in K.A.R. 7-43-17, completed entirely by the notarial officer. The ownership patterns that present this configuration in the record include a co-owner conveying an undivided share to the other owner, a former spouse conveying under a divorce settlement, a relative passing an interest with the gift stated in the deed, and the holder of a doubtful interest releasing it to clear a chain of title. The form is not set up as a two-spouse homestead conveyance, which the Kansas Constitution makes a joint consent transaction, and it does not recite trustee, entity, or attorney-in-fact capacity; the guide describes those boundaries and the spousal consent rules in full.

The questionnaire at the recording counter

Kansas recording intake asks one question of every deed: where is the sales validation questionnaire? K.S.A. 79-1437c bars the register of deeds from recording a deed unless the Department of Revenue questionnaire accompanies it or an exemption under K.S.A. 79-1437e applies and is clearly stated on the deed itself, and the register cannot add that statement at the counter. Section 9 of this form carries the exemption statement with a blank for the exemption that applies; on a nonexempt transfer, the completed questionnaire simply travels with the deed, unrecorded and confidential by statute. Recording fees follow K.S.A. 28-115, published on county schedules at $21 for the first page and $17 for each additional page, and Kansas collects no deed transfer tax. The page itself is built for Kansas intake: letter size, a 3 inch first-page reserve for the recording stamp, 1 inch margins, and 12 point type, inside every figure the large-county format sheets publish.
