Hubbard County Quitclaim Deed (Individual Grantor) Form

One signature carries this deed. The Minnesota Quitclaim Deed (Individual Grantor) prepares a quitclaim conveyance for exactly one grantor: a single signature line, a single notary acknowledgment certificate, and a marital status entry that frames the homestead question Minnesota law asks whenever a married owner conveys. Whatever interest that one grantor holds in the described Minnesota real property passes to the grantee, without any warranty of title.

One grantor, one certificate

The form recites a single conveying owner. Section 1 takes the grantor's legal name with a marital status line beneath it, and the signature section pairs one signature line with one acknowledgment certificate in the short form of Minnesota Statutes section 358.66, the certificate a Minnesota notary completes for an individual signer. The single-owner pattern runs throughout Minnesota records: a former spouse conveying under the terms of a dissolution decree, an owner moving title to the trustee of a revocable trust, a family transfer for little or no consideration, and a conveyance that clears a stray interest from a chain of title. The marital status entry earns its place because section 507.02 makes both spouses' signatures a validity requirement for a married owner's conveyance of the homestead; this deed recites exactly one grantor, so it is not set up as a two-spouse homestead conveyance, and the guide describes how that statute reaches a married owner's home.

What conveys and quitclaims means in Minnesota

Minnesota wrote the quitclaim deed into statute. Section 507.07 supplies the short form and its operative words, conveys and quitclaims, and defines the effect: the deed passes all right, title, and interest of the grantor in the described premises, but reaches no title the grantor acquires later unless express words add it. Section 507.06 adds that a deed of quitclaim and release is sufficient to pass all the estate the grantor could convey by a deed of bargain and sale. This form carries those statutory words in its conveyance section, together with the hereditaments and appurtenances clause of Minnesota conveyancing practice and a plain statement that the deed carries no covenant or warranty of title. Buyers and title examiners searching for a quit claim deed form and sellers reading about a quitclaim deed encounter the same instrument: a conveyance whose protection is the record itself rather than covenants from the grantor.

A first page built for Minnesota's recording counters

Minnesota attaches specific content to the face of a deed, and the form prints it. The first page reserves a full 3 inches at the top under section 507.093, the right half for the recorder's information and the left half for tax certification. The deed carries the drafter statement of section 507.091, the section 507.092 statement directing where future property tax statements go, and lines for the deed tax due and the eCRV number. Section 8 prints the three well disclosure statements of section 103I.235, from the seller's certification of no known wells to the no-change statement, with a blank that takes the letter of the statement applying to the conveyance and a line for an electronically filed well certificate number. A Registered (Torrens) entry signals whether the deed goes to the county recorder or to the registrar of titles.

From the auditor to the recorder

A Minnesota deed reaches the record through the county offices in order. The county auditor enters the transfer and certifies the taxes under section 272.12; without the auditor's statement, the recorder refuses the instrument. Deed tax under section 287.21 runs at 0.0033 of net consideration over $3,000, and $1.65 at or below that line, with small county additions in Hennepin and Ramsey Counties. A sale for more than $3,000 takes an electronic certificate of real estate value under section 272.115. The statewide recorder fee is a flat $46. Once recorded, the deed takes the protection of Minnesota's race-notice statute, section 507.34, against later purchasers and against judgments entered against the record owner.
