Questions answered? Let's get started!

This Michigan quitclaim deed recites a single grantor: one individual signs, one printed name sits under the one signature line, and one acknowledgment certificate closes the document. The operative section uses the statutory words of MCL 565.152, under which the grantor quit claims the described property to the grantee for the stated consideration, passing whatever interest the grantor holds at delivery without any warranty of title.

A conveyance with no promises attached

Michigan's statutory short form makes the quitclaim the state's no-covenant conveyance. The deed transfers the grantor's present interest, if any, and stops there: no covenant of seisin, no promise against encumbrances, no duty to defend the title. That posture has a practical recording consequence in Michigan. County treasurer tax certification under MCL 211.135 attaches to deeds containing a covenant of warranty, and this form contains none, so the certification step the statute imposes on warranty deeds and land contracts does not attach to this instrument by its terms.

One grantor, one certificate

The form is configured for an individual conveying in a personal capacity. The grantor section recites one owner's name and address as they appear in the vesting deed, and the signature section pairs the signature line with the printed name MCL 565.201(1)(a) requires beneath it, in matching form to the name the notary certificate recites, since MCL 565.201(1)(b) treats a mismatch as a recording defect. The pattern appears throughout Michigan practice: a parent passing a parcel to an adult child, a former spouse conveying an interest after a divorce judgment, an heir releasing a possible claim, a neighbor clearing a boundary strip from the record. A deed by two owners, by spouses holding by the entirety, or by a trustee or attorney-in-fact recites a different execution pattern than the single individual this form carries.

Michigan's own first-page and content rules

The form is drafted to the Michigan recording statute. MCL 565.201 requires a single statement on the first line of print identifying the recordable event, a 2-1/2 inch blank space at the top of the first page with half-inch margins elsewhere, black print of at least 10-point type on white 20-pound paper, the grantee's street or post office address, and the drafter's name and business address; a Michigan register of deeds refuses an instrument that misses these conditions. The deed also carries the two Land Division Act statements MCL 560.109 requires when the parcel is unplatted land: the statement granting a stated number of divisions under section 108 of the act, which otherwise stay with the grantor's retained parent parcel, and the exact right to farm act notice. The total consideration appears on the face of the deed, with lines for citing the state and county transfer tax exemptions by subparagraph when the conveyance claims them, in the manner MCL 207.526 and MCL 207.505 contemplate; a one-dollar family transfer, as the completed example shows, cites the under-100-dollar exemption in each act.

Recording across Michigan's 83 counties

The finished deed is recorded with the register of deeds of the county where the land lies. The statewide recording fee is a flat 30 dollars per instrument under MCL 600.2567, with Wayne County following its own charter-county schedule effective January 1, 2026. Recording also starts the clock on the Property Transfer Affidavit, Treasury Form 2766, which the new owner files with the local assessor within 45 days under MCL 211.27a(10). Because Michigan is a race-notice state under MCL 565.29, a promptly recorded deed protects the grantee against a later purchaser from the same grantor, and the statute expressly provides that taking by quitclaim does not by itself defeat that protection.

The purchase delivers this quitclaim deed as a blank fillable form, a completed example showing a plausible Kent County transfer line by line, and a plain-language guide to every section, the notarization rules, and the recording steps. The materials describe Michigan law in general terms and are not legal advice.

The product I purchased looks great and I added Adobe to be able to copy it, but for some reason I can't,so I will delete Adobe and then try again to copy what i paid for. I have all the PDFS' and my computer and printer are fairly new (windows 10),I should have tried to copy it first, I'll get it! Thanks

The Executor's Guide needs more info about what to put for grantee (estate of deceased or my name as executor?) and the price (something nominal like $10?) before there is a buyer. The guide seems to use only one example.

I am so glad I found this resource! As the Executor of a family members estate I wanted to save money by bypassing a lawyer as it seemed pretty straight forward to tranfer a Life Estate to the remainderman. (I had original deeds). But talking with 3 different states and 4 different counties - none of which seemed to need the same documents, I was almost ready to dump this in a lawyer's lap. This resource makes it simple!

I am a lawyer and purchased a specialized type of deed for a special scenario. The product received was functional, but not great. Wording is slightly clunky and the form layout was not convenient for making a professional final product. The wording also didn't contemplate a remote-state probate, which is a common scenario. Something about the PDF prevented me from doing cut and paste, so I had to do OCR to get the relevant text for inserting in my existing draft deed. Finally, while the site claims it is customized for the exact state and county, it does not appear to be well-customized for that purpose and I had to use other language (not sourced from the deeds.com document) to meet local norms.

It was a very easy and quick site to use. Not to big of a fan price wise. But it gave me what I needed in a hurry. So all and all I'd definitely use this site again. Thank you!
