Lafourche Parish Quitclaim Deed (Two Grantors) Form

Two owners of record, one act of conveyance: this Louisiana quitclaim deed is configured for exactly two grantors, who together transfer to a single grantee every interest either of them holds in the described property, with no warranty of title. The fillable form carries a signature block for each grantor, an accepting signature block for the grantee, lines for two witnesses, and an acknowledgment certificate for each signing party.

Two interests, one recorded act

When two people own Louisiana immovable property together, the default regime is ownership in indivision under Civil Code article 797, with shares presumed equal. Article 805 draws the line that gives this configuration its purpose: a co-owner acting alone may alienate only that co-owner's undivided share, while alienation of the entire thing requires the consent of all the co-owners. A two owner parcel therefore takes both signatures to pass the whole, and this deed collects them in one instrument. Each grantor quitclaims, transfers, assigns, and delivers that grantor's own right, title, and interest, so the grantee receives in a single recorded act whatever the two grantors together hold at delivery, and nothing more.

Spousal concurrence written into the act

The other two grantor pattern in Louisiana records is a married couple and a community immovable. Each spouse owns a present undivided one half interest in community property under Civil Code article 2336, article 2347 requires the concurrence of both spouses to alienate a community immovable, and a transfer by one spouse alone where concurrence is required is relatively null under article 2353. This deed carries a concurrence section reciting that each grantor joins in and concurs in the conveyance made by the other, so spouses passing a community lot execute with the concurrence the code demands on the face of the act. The completed example runs exactly that pattern: a married couple in Lafayette Parish quitclaiming a community lot to a single grantee, with each spouse's marital status declared in the party sections.

A warranty exclusion the grantee signs

Louisiana implies a warranty against eviction in every sale unless the act limits or excludes it, and Civil Code article 2503 governs how far an exclusion reaches. This deed states the complete exclusion: no warranty of title whatsoever, no warranty that either grantor holds any interest at all, and no conveyance of title either grantor later acquires. Because an exclusion by itself ordinarily leaves a seller obliged to return the price upon eviction, the deed adds the buyer side declarations article 2503 contemplates, a statement that the grantee takes at the grantee's own peril and risk with knowledge of the danger of eviction, and an express release of the return of the price. Those declarations belong to the buyer, so the acceptance section places them directly above the grantee's own signature line. One rule stays standing by statute, and the deed says so: each grantor remains liable for an eviction occasioned by that grantor's own act.

Built for Louisiana execution and the parish records

The signature and certificate architecture serves both execution paths the Civil Code recognizes, an authentic act signed before a notary and two witnesses under article 1833, or an act under private signature later acknowledged under article 1836. Each acknowledgment certificate captions the venue as State of Louisiana, Parish of, in the R.S. 35:511 style, and the notary block includes a line for the notary identification number or attorney bar roll number, the item R.S. 35:12 lets a clerk of court treat as a reason to refuse a notarized instrument. Filing with the clerk of court of the parish where the property sits is what gives the deed effect against third persons. At seven recorded pages, the instrument prices in the six to twenty five page tier of R.S. 13:844, a $200 statewide base to which parish schedules add local charges. The body prints in 12 point type against the statutory 8 point floor, and page one holds a full two inch top reserve for the clerk.

Often searched as a quit claim deed for two sellers or a two owner deed without warranty of title, the instrument rewards drafting in Louisiana's own civil law vocabulary, and this form is written in it. The package includes the two grantor deed as a fillable PDF blank, a completed example prepared on a Lafayette Parish community property fact pattern, and a plain language guide covering every numbered section, both execution paths, and parish recording practice. The materials are informational and are not legal advice.
