Questions answered? Let's get started!

Minnesota gives a divorce two ways onto the land records, and this is the one the parties sign themselves. The decree can reach the county index as a court document, or as a quitclaim deed from the former spouse who gave up the property to the one who kept it. The Minnesota Quitclaim Deed (Divorce) prepares the second: one Grantor, one Grantee, one signature, and a numbered section naming the decree behind it.

The court's own instrument, and why the deed asks about it

Section 518.191 of the Minnesota Statutes is the route needing no deed at all. Where a judgment and decree of dissolution describes real estate, the court directs a party or counsel to prepare a summary real estate disposition judgment, an abbreviated document listing the entry date, any name change the decree granted, each parcel's legal description, and who took which interest. Once entered, it operates as a conveyance and transfer of each interest in the real estate it describes, and it is prima facie evidence of the facts it states. Section 4 of this form carries an entry for it, because an examiner reading the deed needs to know whether the court already spoke. That judgment issues from the dissolution file, recorded separately and not included here.

One statute names divorce in the deed tax code

Deeds are taxed under section 287.21 at 0.0033 of net consideration above $3,000. Clause (14) of section 287.22 lifts this conveyance out of that tax entirely: a decree of marriage dissolution, or a deed between the parties to the dissolution made pursuant to the terms of the decree, is exempt, and section 287.01, subdivision 4, folds the summary judgment into the same definition. The exemption still has to appear on the paper, since section 287.241, subdivision 1, bars recording a taxable deed stating neither the tax due nor an exemption. Section 1 prints that statement, and the completed example fills the line in with clause (14) by name.

What a divorce quitclaim deed recites

The form names exactly one Grantor, the former spouse conveying, with a marital status line beneath the name, and exactly one Grantee, the former spouse receiving, with room for a name restored through the decree. Section 9 speaks the section 507.07 words conveys and quitclaims, and recites in the same breath that the two parties were married to each other and that the decree named in Section 4 dissolved that marriage. One signature block and one acknowledgment certificate in the section 358.66 individual short form close the instrument, because one person signs and a Grantee does not sign a Minnesota deed. Two transactions present this configuration: a decree awarding the homestead to one party, with the other signing so the index shows one name where it showed two, and a decree entered years ago that nothing followed until a sale surfaced the gap. It is not set up for two owners signing together, for a conveyance to a buyer or a relative, or for a deed signed while the dissolution is still pending.

Why no second signature line appears

Section 507.02 makes both spouses' signatures a validity condition for a married owner's conveyance of the homestead. It does not reach the Grantee here: under section 518.06, subdivision 1, a decree of dissolution completely terminates the marital status of both parties, leaving no marital interest to release. It can reach back to the Grantor who has married again and lives in the property as a homestead, which is what the marital status entry in Section 2 records.

What moves, and what stays behind

Section 507.07 fixes the effect of those statutory words: all right, title, and interest of the grantor passes, later-acquired title does not follow unless added words say so, and no covenant of title comes along. A recorded mortgage stays exactly where it was, and the deed touches neither it nor the note behind it, which is why the completed example carries that mortgage forward in Additional Provisions. The county sequence is fixed too: section 272.12 puts the auditor's transfer entry ahead of the recorder, or of the registrar of titles for registered land, and section 507.34 rewards whoever records first.

A divorce quit claim deed and a quit claim deed after divorce reach this same instrument. Included here: the fillable form, a completed example built on a Dakota County conveyance, and a guide walking every numbered section and each county step. The materials are informational and are not legal advice.

Found this site very easy to navigate and customer service very supportive and quickly answers any questions you have regarding forms. Best of all you can get the forms you need and only pay for those forms, not tied to some ongoing fee that you must cancel if you have no further need beyond forms you've already purchased.

I would appreciate being able to increase the size of the blocks such as the Grantor block and the legal description block where information is enter on the form and to adjust the font. Otherwise great product,

Thank you for your feedback Michael. We do wish we could make that an option. Unfortunately, adhering to formatting requirements (specifically margin requirements) leaves a finite amount of space available on the page.
