Questions answered? Let's get started!

Two record owners join in one Michigan quitclaim deed on this form built for exactly two grantors: the grantor section carries two name-and-address blocks, the signature section carries two signature lines with a printed name beneath each, and two acknowledgment certificates close the document. The operative section rests on the statutory quitclaim form at MCL 565.152, so both grantors' interests pass to the grantee together, as they stand at delivery, with no covenant or warranty of title attached.

Two grantors, one instrument

The two-grantor configuration mirrors how Michigan co-ownership unwinds in the record. Two tenants in common, often co-heirs whose undivided interests arrived through the same estate, release both shares to a single buyer in one recorded instrument; two joint tenants closing out a shared purchase convey together; a married couple holding by the entirety joins in one deed because Michigan law lets neither spouse convey the entirety estate alone. The completed example walks that first pattern: two co-heirs of a Genesee County farm parcel quit claim their undivided interests to the third co-heir who is buying them out, for a stated 60,000 dollars. The form recites exactly two individual grantors signing in a personal capacity; a sole owner, a group of three or more owners, an entity, or a trustee follows a different execution pattern.

Both spouses sign in Michigan

Michigan gives married co-owners a distinctive estate. A conveyance to two married persons presumptively vests them as tenants by the entirety under MCL 554.45 and MCL 557.71, and Michigan case law holds that neither spouse acting alone can convey or encumber entirety land. A deed out of an entirety title is therefore a two-grantor deed by necessity, and this form supplies the matching architecture: a signature line for each spouse and an acknowledgment certificate for each. Since dower's abolition by MCL 558.30, effective in 2017, marriage alone no longer pulls a non-owner spouse onto a Michigan deed, so the two grantors this form recites are the two record owners themselves.

Names that match, three times over

Michigan's recording statute polices signatures by name matching, and a two-signer instrument doubles the surface. MCL 565.201(1)(a) requires each signer's name printed beneath the signature, and MCL 565.201(1)(b) makes a discrepancy between that printed name and the name recited in the acknowledgment a reason for the register of deeds to refuse the instrument. Each grantor's name on this form appears in matching form in the grantor section, under the signature line, and in that grantor's certificate. The certificates also carry the notary content Michigan expects, including the county of commission and the acting county, and the two-certificate layout lets the grantors acknowledge on different days, in different counties, or in different states; the completed example records its two acknowledgments two days apart.

Stating the price and the tax

Transfer tax rides on the face of a Michigan deed. The form states the total consideration where the transfer tax acts look for it, and carries a separate exemption citation line for the state act, MCL 207.526, and the county act, MCL 207.505, because the two exemption lists are not identical. On a taxable conveyance the register collects 3.75 dollars per 500 dollars of value under the state act and 55 cents per 500 under the county act, computed on the stated total; the example's 60,000 dollar buyout carries 516 dollars of combined transfer tax. For unplatted land, the deed also carries the Land Division Act content: the division-rights sentence of MCL 560.109(3) and the exact right to farm text of MCL 560.109(4), which the example completes for its 20-acre township parcel.

The download includes the two-grantor quitclaim deed, sometimes searched as a quit claim deed for two owners, as a blank fillable PDF, a completed example that fills every entry for the Genesee County fact pattern described above, and a plain language guide to each section, the notary rules, and recording with the register of deeds, where the statewide fee is a flat 30 dollars per instrument. The materials describe Michigan law in general terms and are not legal advice.

You're service saved the day! I had gone to several lawyers and title companies who all said, at a Minimum, preparing a deed costs $1000... Through your service and some work reading about the requirements as well as calling my county clerks office, I was able to complete the deed and it read accepted and recorded today! Thanks so much.

Very impressive. The only change I would suggest is a smaller font on the title.

Very satisfied. Download was easy, completing the form was easy, got our signatures notarized and submitted it to the register of deeds. The only item was that the register of deeds did not immediately recognize the TOD deed form as the usual form they receive. After carefully reviewing all the information and wording on the deed she accepted it.
