Questions answered? Let's get started!
Somebody other than the owner signs this Maryland quitclaim deed, often called a POA deed. The Grantor is one record owner, and an attorney-in-fact acting under a power of attorney signs in that owner's name, passing along the interest the owner then holds and promising nothing whatever about it. Two instruments reach the land records here, the deed and the power of attorney, and Maryland sequences them by statute.
The statute that pairs a deed with a power of attorney
Real Property Article Section 4-107(a) has a power of attorney authorizing an agent to sell and grant property executed in the same manner as a deed and recorded, and it allows that recording before, on, or after the day the deed is recorded. Recording afterward carries three conditions in Section 4-107(b), and the third reaches the deed: the deed, or a recorded instrument supplementing it, contains an affidavit or certification by the agent stating substantially that the agent had no actual knowledge, at the time of execution, of the revocation of the power of attorney by death of the principal or by the principal's later disability or incompetence. Section 8 of this form carries that certification in the statutory terms.
How the signature line reads
Section 4-107(c) has a person executing a deed as agent describe himself in the deed and sign as agent. Section 2 identifies the attorney-in-fact and identifies the power of attorney by date and recording reference. The execution block runs in the record owner's name, signed by the attorney-in-fact in that stated capacity, with the printed name line Section 3-104(d) puts beneath a signature. The notarial certificate is the representative-capacity short form of State Government Article Section 18-216(c), whose by-line names the individual, the type of authority, and the party on whose behalf the record was executed; under Section 18-201(b) that acknowledgment is the signer's declaration of having signed with proper authority and as the act of the person named in the record.
Where the authority itself sits
Not in the deed. The Maryland General and Limited Power of Attorney Act, Estates and Trusts Article Title 17 governs the instrument that grants it, and Section 17-110 sets a demanding execution standard: the principal signs, acknowledges before a notary public, and has two or more adult witnesses attest and sign, with the notary permitted to be one of them. A written power of attorney is durable by default under Section 17-105. The statutory forms at Sections 17-202 and 17-203 name the power to quitclaim expressly in their real property grants, while gift authority sits apart, in a grant of specific authority the principal marks separately. That instrument is prepared, executed, and recorded on its own and is not included in this package.
What the attorney-in-fact configuration recites
The form recites exactly one record owner as Grantor, exactly one attorney-in-fact signing in that owner's name, one acknowledgment certificate written for a representative signer, and a certificate of preparation carrying a capacity blank. Patterns presenting this configuration turn up throughout the land records: an owner living in another state whose agent signs at a Maryland settlement, an owner in a care facility whose agent acts under a durable power of attorney granted years earlier, and an owner traveling abroad on the settlement date. The form is not set up for a record owner signing personally, for two record owners, for coagents whose power of attorney has them act together unanimously, or for a signer whose authority comes from a trust instrument, from letters of administration, or from appointment as guardian of the property.
What the clerk collects
Consideration is stated under Tax-Property Article Section 12-104, including any mortgage debt the Grantee assumes, and the county recordation tax charged per $500, the State transfer tax, and any county transfer tax compute from that figure. A Land Instrument Intake Sheet travels with the deed to the Clerk of the Circuit Court, carrying the tax entries and the Grantee's tax bill address. Page geometry answers Section 3-104(e)(1)(i)2 in 12 point type, and Section 5 collects the election district Section 3-104(g) puts on the face of a deed recorded in Prince George's County.
The download holds the blank fillable quit claim deed configured for an attorney-in-fact signer, a completed example working a Charles County release through every blank, and a plain-language guide covering each section in order, the power of attorney requirements, grantee vesting, notarization, the taxes, and recording. It describes Maryland law and this form, and it is not legal advice.

Very easy to use. Time will tell if I have any issues getting it recorded. Beats using an attorney who won't return calls and emails like I used before. I like the form plus instructions and an example of the completed form.
Thank you for your feedback. We really appreciate it. Have a great day!

I bought a Quitclaim Deed package for Fayette County, Kentucky, to transfer my house into a Living Trust that I had set up previously. Creating my Quitclaim Deed was pretty straightforward, using the form, the instructions, and the sample Quitclaim Deed. I signed my Quitclaim Deed at a nearby Notary Public, then took it to the Fayette County Clerk's office to be recorded. The clerk there asked me to make two small changes to the Quitclaim Deed, which she let me do in pen on the spot: * In the signature block for the receiver of the property, filled in "Capacity" as "Grantee as Trustee ______________________________ Living Trust". * In the notary's section, changed "were acknowledged before me" to "were acknowledged and sworn to before me".
Thank you for your feedback. We really appreciate it. Have a great day!

The papers allowed me to get done what I needed. But for the price I would expect a spell check. There were spelling errors when there should not have been any. Please proof read

I thought the forms were reasonably priced, the instructions included in the packet were thorough, and the examples helpful. Thank you for the additional CDR forms too. I contacted the Recorder's office via email with a question and Jennifer Bowser answered promptly. Job well done! However, when I delivered the deed and Real Property Transfer Declaration to the Clerk's office in Lafayette, the clerk was unfamiliar with the Declaration document being submitted and it took some time to convince her to submit the form without charging the recording fee. She even tried to phone the recorder's office for clarification, but no one answered. There then was an additional form at that office that I had to complete called Recording Request/Transmittal Form. I would suggest including that form with instructions in your on-line packet to speed up the process when a Deed is delivered to the County Clerk's satellite office. I do not expect every clerk to know all the particulars of recording requirements but a little knowledge wouldn't hurt.
Thank you for your feedback. We really appreciate it. Have a great day!

The deeds were a very reasonable price. However, it was made to seem like it was part of Jefferson County, and I didn't love the deceptiveness.

Deeds.com is an independent document provider and does not represent itself as affiliated with Jefferson County or any other government agency.

Perfectly easy, perfectly complete! I had no problems with downloading these forms. I have been a paralegal for 20 years and came up on a situation where I was not familiar with the forms. Deeds.com saved my life and allowed me to get the documents done and done right. I will keep deeds.com on my list of favorites!
Thank you Carole. Glad we could help. We appreciate you taking the time to leave your review.

The experience was generally very satisfactory. I was able to fill out the Trust Deed and send it via email no problem. However, I was not able to send the filled out form of the Note. It always erased my fill-ins when it was sent. I found that very frustrating.
Thank you, Gordon. Glad the Trust Deed worked well. Issues like the one you reported with the Note can sometimes be related to how the file is opened or sent. Using Adobe Reader to fill, save, and send the form is recommended. We also pass along all feedback like this to our team to confirm there are no issues.
