Winn Parish Quitclaim Deed (Trustee Grantee) Form

The receiving side is what sets this Louisiana quitclaim deed apart: the grantee signs as trustee. Whatever interest the grantor holds passes to a named person acting in a fiduciary capacity, with no warranty of title behind it, and a numbered section identifies the trust by name, by the date of its trust instrument, by revocability, and by where a trust filing already sits in the parish records.

Title goes to the trustee, not to the trust

The Louisiana Trust Code fixes where title lands. R.S. 9:1731 defines a trust as the relationship resulting from the transfer of title to property to a person to be administered as a fiduciary for the benefit of another, and R.S. 9:1781 defines a trustee as the person to whom that title is transferred. A Louisiana act of transfer therefore names a person, states the capacity, and identifies the trust that capacity belongs to. The grantee section here takes the trustee's name, the words of capacity, the parish of domicile, and the permanent mailing address, and printed text later in the act states that the interest goes to the grantee as trustee, to be administered under the trust instrument and the Trust Code, and that the transfer leaves the trust itself untouched.

The trust section, and the filing this deed does not make

R.S. 9:2092 directs a trustee whose trust property includes Louisiana immovables to file the trust instrument, an extract of trust, or a clerk-certified copy in each parish where the property is located, and it lists what an extract carries: trust name, revocable or irrevocable, each settlor, each trustee and the beneficiaries, the date of execution, and any restriction on the trustee's power to alienate, lease, or encumber immovable property. A restriction the recorded extract leaves out is not effective against third persons. The trust section of this deed collects four of those items plus the registry data for a trust filing already made, so the two documents point at each other in the conveyance record. That trustee filing is prepared and recorded separately and is not part of this package.

No warranty, and the price released

Civil Code article 2503 implies a warranty against eviction in every sale and lets the parties increase, limit, or exclude it. Exclusion alone still leaves the transferor owing the price back after an eviction, unless the party taking knew of the danger, took at its own peril and risk, or released that obligation in words. The operative section excludes the warranty to the full extent article 2503 permits, runs without recourse even as to the return of the price, and passes no after-acquired title. The acceptance section pairs the trustee's acceptance in fiduciary capacity with the peril and risk declaration and the express release, placed above the accepting signature. One liability no drafting reaches stays printed in capitals: an eviction occasioned by the transferor's own act, which article 2503 preserves against any agreement to the contrary.

Two signers, two certificates, five recorded pages

Signature blocks for the grantor and for the grantee as trustee sit above two witness lines, so the act can be executed as an authentic act before a notary and two witnesses under Civil Code article 1833, or under private signature and acknowledged afterward under article 1836. A certificate follows for each signer, captioned STATE OF and PARISH OF in the R.S. 35:511 pattern, with a line for the notary identification or attorney bar roll number that R.S. 35:12 lets a clerk treat as a ground for refusing a notarized filing; in the trustee's certificate the name line carries the fiduciary capacity too. Filing with the clerk of court of the parish where the immovable is located gives the transfer effect as to third persons under Civil Code articles 3338 and 3347, and at five recorded pages the act prices in the first tier of R.S. 13:844, $100 statewide before parish charges.

Searched as a quit claim deed into a trust, a deed to a trustee, or a quitclaim deed to a living trust, this instrument speaks Louisiana's civil law and Trust Code vocabulary at once. The purchase delivers the blank deed as a fillable PDF, a completed example on a Caddo Parish fact pattern in which a Shreveport property moves to the trustee of a family trust, and a plain language guide covering each numbered section, the trust recordation statute, execution, and parish recording.
