Prince Georges County Quitclaim Deed (Two Grantors) Form

Two grantors sign this Maryland quitclaim deed, and their releases travel together: whatever right, title, and interest each of the two owners holds at delivery passes to the grantee in a single instrument, with no covenant or warranty of title. The form is the two-grantor configuration of the Maryland quitclaim deed, and its architecture is doubled where the signers are doubled: two grantor blanks, two signature blocks with printed name lines, and an acknowledgment certificate for each signer.

Two releasing owners, one recorded instrument

The form recites exactly two grantors, each signing personally. Two heirs releasing inherited undivided shares to a single relative, co-owners winding up a joint purchase by consolidating title in one name, and a married couple conveying a jointly titled parcel together present the two-grantor pattern this deed recites. Where spouses hold Maryland property as tenants by the entirety, neither spouse alone can convey the estate, so an entireties transfer reaches the record with both spouses on the deed, and the two signature blocks carry them. The form is not set up as a sole-owner release, as an instrument for three or more grantors, or as a deed signed in a trustee, personal representative, or attorney-in-fact capacity; those configurations follow different patterns than this deed recites. The layout keeps the practices Maryland clerks look for, from the first page's official-use reserve down to the printed name line under every signature.

Each grantor acknowledges on an independent schedule

The two acknowledgment certificates are drawn to the State Government Article Section 18-216 short form, one for each grantor, so the signers can appear before different notaries, in different counties or even different states, on different days; the completed example records one acknowledgment in Howard County and the second in Montgomery County two days later. Maryland law does not require a separate certificate for each signer, and one certificate naming both individuals who appeared before the same officer is equally sufficient; the two-certificate layout simply keeps each grantor's signing independent of the other's calendar. Remote online notarization is available in Maryland when the statutory and regulatory conditions are met. The recording statute leaves its own marks on the form: printed names accompany the signatures per Real Property Article Section 3-104(d), and the Section 3-104(f) certificate of preparation is signed by a party named in the deed or by, or under the supervision of, an attorney admitted to the Maryland Bar.

One consideration statement covers both interests

A two-grantor quit claim deed carries one consideration recital for the whole conveyance. Tax-Property Article Section 12-104 calls for the consideration payable, with any assumed mortgage debt, to appear in the recitals or acknowledgment of the instrument or in a separate affidavit, and the form's consideration section performs that recital for both released interests at once. The recordation tax, computed at each county's own rate per $500, the 0.5 percent state transfer tax of Tax-Property Article Section 13-203, and any county transfer tax all read from that figure, and the Land Instrument Intake Sheet that travels with the deed to the Clerk of the Circuit Court restates it for the tax computation, along with any exemption citation. The completed example walks a $36,000.00 family consolidation: two siblings who inherited a Howard County house release their undivided shares to a third, with the vesting deed's liber and folio carried in the source of title section and the county tax account number carried for intake review.

What arrives in the package

The package holds the two-grantor blank in fillable PDF form, a completed example that fills every section with the Howard County fact pattern described above, and a plain-language guide covering each blank, the grantee vesting forms Maryland recognizes, the signing and acknowledgment mechanics, the taxes, and the county recording workflow.
