Perry County Quitclaim Deed (Individual Grantor) Form

A Mississippi quitclaim deed made by one individual grantor carries a single signature line and a single acknowledgment certificate, and it moves whatever right, title, and interest that one grantor holds to the grantee. This fillable quitclaim deed form prepares that conveyance under Miss. Code Ann. Sections 89-1-37 and 89-1-39, formatted for recording with the chancery clerk of any Mississippi county.

A conveyance defined by the words it leaves out

Mississippi sorts its deeds by operative words rather than captions. The statutory conveyance form in Section 89-1-61 runs on the words convey and warrant, and Section 89-1-33 loads the word warrant with five title covenants. A conveyance that carries no warranty words takes a different statutory path: under Section 89-1-37, a conveyance without warranty operates to transfer the title and possession of the grantor as a quitclaim and release. This deed takes that path deliberately. Its operative section remises, releases, and forever quitclaims and conveys the grantor's interest, states that the conveyance is without warranty, and cites the governing sections on its face, so the instrument's character is plain in the record. The same document answers searches for a quit claim deed, the two-word spelling many customers use.

A release that still reaches forward

Section 89-1-39 gives the Mississippi quitclaim an effect worth knowing about. The instrument passes all the estate and interest the grantor can lawfully convey, and it estops the grantor and the grantor's heirs from asserting a later-acquired title adverse to the one conveyed. The grantee still receives no covenant that any particular interest exists; existing mortgages, liens, easements, and reservations of record are unaffected. What the deed conveys is the grantor's position in the title, exactly as the record holds it.

One grantor, one signature, one certificate

The form recites exactly one grantor of record. Its signature section carries one signature line with the printed name beneath it, followed by one notarial acknowledgment certificate in the statutory short form of Section 89-3-7(2). The grantee section accepts one or more grantees, and the guide describes each ownership form Mississippi recognizes for the receiving side, from the tenancy in common default of Section 89-1-7 to the survivorship estates that exist only when the deed's own words create them. Patterns that present this one-grantor configuration in Mississippi practice include a transfer between family members, a conveyance implementing a divorce judgment, and the release of a record interest of uncertain scope. The form is not set up as a homestead conveyance by a married owner living with a spouse; Section 89-1-29 requires the spouse's signature on that conveyance, a two-signature pattern outside this form's single signature block.

Built for the chancery clerk's counter

Mississippi recording intake is specific, and the form is drafted to it. The first page reserves the top three inches for the chancery clerk and places the preparer block, the return address, the instrument title, the party contact data, and the indexing instruction below that reserve, the arrangement Section 89-5-24(2) describes. Section 27-3-51 makes each party's mailing address and telephone numbers a recording prerequisite the clerk may enforce by refusal, so the grantor and grantee sections collect that data on the deed itself. The indexing instruction blank carries the Section 89-5-33(3) entry that lets the clerk index the land correctly. Margins, type size, and paper weight follow Section 89-5-24, and the base recording fee under Section 25-7-9 is twenty-five dollars for the first five pages. Mississippi imposes no statewide transfer tax on an ordinary deed, and no separate transfer declaration accompanies it.
