Questions answered? Let's get started!

The Montana Warranty Deed (Individual Grantor) conveys Montana real property from one owner signing in an individual capacity, and it carries the strongest title promise in Montana conveyancing: express general warranty covenants layered on the limited covenants the statutory word grant implies. The form recites exactly one grantor, carries one signature line, and closes with a single notarial acknowledgment certificate in Montana's statutory short form.

Full covenants in a grant-based state

Montana builds its deeds around the word grant. Section 70-20-103 of the Montana Code Annotated supplies a short statutory form of conveyance, and Section 70-20-304 gives the word grant two implied covenants only: that the grantor has not already conveyed the same estate to someone else, and that the estate is free from encumbrances the grantor or anyone claiming under the grantor created or suffered. Those implied covenants stop at the grantor's own conduct. No Montana statute supplies a general warranty short form, so a full warranty rests on express language, and this deed states it in full: covenants of seisin, right to convey, freedom from encumbrances except those listed, quiet possession, and a promise to warrant and defend title against the lawful claims of all persons. The express covenants reach defects arising anywhere in the chain of title, and the deed states that they are in addition to, not in place of, the statutory grant covenants.

One grantor, one signature, one certificate

The form recites a single individual grantor, with a grantor section that accommodates a marital-status statement, one signature and date line, and one acknowledgment certificate in the wording of Section 1-5-610: this record was acknowledged before me on a stated date by the named individual. A sole record owner conveying a home to a buyer, and an individual owner passing title into a family member's name after a sale, present the single-grantor pattern this deed recites. The form is not set up as an entity, trustee, or attorney-in-fact conveyance, and it recites one grantor rather than co-grantors. On the receiving side, the grantee section carries each grantee's name and post-office address, because Section 7-4-2618 bars the county clerk and recorder from receiving a deed that omits the grantee's address; where two or more grantees take title, a designation follows their names, and Montana's default without one is a tenancy in common under Section 70-1-314, with survivorship arising only from a declared joint interest containing the right of survivorship.

What travels with a Montana deed to the clerk and recorder

A Montana deed records with a small package around it. A completed Realty Transfer Certificate, Department of Revenue Form RTC, accompanies every deed presented for recording under Section 15-7-305, and the consideration declared on it is confidential under Section 15-7-308. The certificate carries Montana's water-right disclosure, and when it indicates that water rights are transferred, severed, divided, or exempted, the statutory certification of Section 85-2-424 accompanies the deed as well. For documents recorded on or after October 1, 2025, the recording fee is $20 for the first page and $10 for each additional page, and Montana charges no statewide transfer tax at recording. The deed itself is drawn to the formatting statute, Section 7-4-2636: letter-size white paper, blue or black ink, a full 3-inch recording band at the top of the first page, and the return name and address in the upper-left corner of that page, inside the band, where the statute places it. Montana recording is race-notice; under Section 70-21-304, an unrecorded conveyance is void as against a subsequent good-faith purchaser for value whose conveyance is first duly recorded, which is why the deed's trip to the clerk and recorder follows promptly in practice.

Inside the download

The download contains the fillable warranty deed form matched to Montana's formatting statute, a completed example showing a Gallatin County transfer with every section filled in, and a section-by-section guide covering the covenants, the grantee vesting forms Montana recognizes, signing and notarization, and the recording package described above. The materials describe Montana law in general terms and are not legal advice; a Montana attorney can address how these rules operate on a specific title or transaction.

Very easy to use. Time will tell if I have any issues getting it recorded. Beats using an attorney who won't return calls and emails like I used before. I like the form plus instructions and an example of the completed form.

Customer service was poor. I felt like I had to debate the representative to provide guidance and assistance. They acted as though I knew the process, the documents involved, etc. At the same time, they asked me to confirm which documents or at least pages needed to be filed. I was leaning of Deeds.com for their expertise.

Highly Pleased- Strongly Recommend Deeds.com Long review... sorry:-) Originally I was very skeptical due to the enormous amount of the scams going on now days and the number of online sources that "claim" to provide you with deed forms for free or for a few. Nothing that you need and want done is free. There is always a cost. So luckily I came across deeds.com. This was the only site that appeared to be simple, to the point, and made no crazy promises. So before selecting this site, I did a little more checking around/price checking to ensure I am getting the best price for the product I needed. I even checked Staples and Amazon to find that they do indeed sell these forms but I do not think the products they provide are specific for my state and county. They claim their forms provided are for all states but my state is specific and I prefer to have forms provided by Deeds.com that is based on Indiana statute that Deed.com clearly identifies on each form. Deeds.com price of $20 seemed a little high at first but when I saw the products provided, the $20 cost is more than reasonable and fair. You not only get the deed form specific for my state and my specific "county" but also the other various/supplemental forms that may be required. Being familiar with my state and knowing how tedious and anal my state is on everything, I was pleasantly please to see the info and extra supplemental forms provided. For example, a person new to the State who recently had property deeded to them, would not necessarily know about the Homestead tax exemption provided if property is your primary residents, over 65 exemption etc. I would highly recommend this site for anyone needing these documents because Deeds.com has you covered on any and all forms/info you could ever need! A bonus is that there is one flat fee and not monthly cost that you have to worry about canceling later unless you superficially select a monthly package. I love the fact that Deeds.com is nothing fancy. There is not a bunch of elaborate graphics etc. They only provide what you need and what they provide is very accurate. Deeds.com has a customer for life.

Great and fast service. Would have been grate to have seen a little more detail or a pre-filled sample in the fields. Had a little confussion in some of the lines to fill out since the guide only explains a few of the lines not all of them. Otherwise, is really great to have this service with low cost. Thank you.

The process was not difficult but I don't think that it suited my needs. There were several fields that were not applicable to me but I had to enter something to proceed. I also filled out the other form and mailed it in with some documentation that the electronic service did not ask for. Questions of my attempt are still unanswered. I hope I didn't waste time with this process. We shall see. Thank you.
