Questions answered? Let's get started!

Massachusetts writes short deeds on purpose. General Laws Chapter 183, Section 9 states its own object as avoiding the unnecessary use of words in deeds, and Section 12 makes the single word grant enough to pass land while implying no covenant at all. What a deed promises is whatever the parties add to that word, and the usual addition is two of them: with quitclaim covenants. This fillable form is that instrument in its general configuration, for one or two individual owners conveying to one or two grantees.

The paragraph behind two words

Section 17 gives the phrase quitclaim covenants the force of a paragraph the statute writes out, and Section 11 attaches the same promises to a deed drawn in substance on the form entitled Quitclaim Deed: the premises were free of encumbrances the grantor made, and the grantor defends against claims by, through or under the grantor, but against none other. Older links in the chain stay outside it. Section 8 of this deed carries the shorthand and prints the covenant under it, so the page reads whole on its own. The appendix of statutory forms Section 42 preserves is not published online by the Legislature; Section 11 asks only that a deed follow the form in substance.

One or two names on each side

The granting side takes one or two natural persons signing in their own capacity, and the receiving side takes one or two names, so one instrument carries four count patterns: one to one, one to two, two to one, two to two. Two signature blocks headed GRANTOR and SECOND GRANTOR (if applicable) each carry an acknowledgment certificate, and both stay blank where a single grantor conveys. Nothing about status, capacity or the manner of holding is preprinted: Section 1 takes the names with whatever the deed states about them, and the operative section applies the grant and the covenants to each of two grantors, each granting the whole of that person's right, title and interest. The form is not set up for a corporation, limited liability company or partnership, for a trustee or court-appointed fiduciary, for an attorney-in-fact, or for three or more owners on either side. Searches for a Massachusetts quitclaim deed form or a quit claim deed describe this configuration.

A blank where the statute keeps a default

Chapter 184, Section 7 answers the two-grantee question when the deed does not. Two or more persons take as tenants in common unless the instrument says they take jointly, as joint tenants, in joint tenancy, or to them and the survivor of them, and a tenancy by the entirety belongs to spouses and takes express words of its own. None of it is preprinted here: Section 2 takes the grantee names and whatever designation goes with them, and the operative section conveys in the manner Section 2 states. The completed example fills that line as tenants by the entirety.

What the register reads before accepting

Three sentences of Chapter 183 decide whether a deed is taken at the counter. Section 6 asks that the grantee be named with a residence and post office address, and that the deed recite its full price, before any mortgage the land carries is subtracted. Section 6A asks that the land be locatable from the record, by a same-premises reference to an earlier instrument, a no-new-boundaries statement, or a plan. Section 6B asks for the street address. All three add that a failure spoils neither the deed nor the recording, and two add that no register shall accept an instrument lacking the entry.

Stamps, and a district that is not always the county

The deed is recorded where the land lies, and Chapter 36, Section 12 treats each registry district as a county, so a divided county sends the deed to one district and not the other. The statewide fee for recording a deed is $155, and Chapter 64D stamps are bought at recording on the consideration recited, at $2.28 for each $500 or fraction and $3.24 in Barnstable County, with a Dukes County or Nantucket transfer clearing the island land bank first. The example runs a Plymouth County pattern in Hanover at $645,000, drawing $2,941.20 in stamps.

The download delivers this Massachusetts quitclaim deed as a fillable PDF, a completed example, and a guide covering each numbered section, both certificates, homestead, and recording. The materials describe Massachusetts law in general terms and are not legal advice.

One thing I would suggest that could be changed is the last page because we have a trust and I had to retype that page to include the trust and both trustee's signatures.

My deed has now been recorded. Thank you so very much. I saved about $120.00 by doing this with your document service. Thankfully, I heard about you from a friend and did not go with my Title Company that wanted a fee that seems outrageous because of how simple it was to do. I will definitely "advertise" this service to others.
