Washoe County Quitclaim Deed (Individual Grantor by Attorney-in-Fact) Form

Two names do the work on the Nevada Quitclaim Deed (Individual Grantor by Attorney-in-Fact), and only one signs. Section 1 names the record owner whose interest is released, the principal under the power of attorney; Section 2 names the agent who writes the signature; Section 3 pins the power itself into the record by date and recording reference. A quit claim deed signed under a POA, a quick claim form completed by an agent for an absent owner: those searches land here.

The power itself has to be on record

Most quitclaim variants turn on who signs; this Nevada quitclaim deed turns on a second recorded instrument. Under NRS 162A.480(2), a power of attorney containing the power to convey real property as agent for the owner must be recorded as other conveyances affecting real property are recorded. Nevada relocated that rule in 2009, repealing the older NRS 111.450 as it enacted its power of attorney chapter. Subsection 3 adds that a power so recorded is not deemed revoked by any act of the principal until the revoking instrument is deposited for record in the same office. The deed prints both rules in uppercase above its signature line.

One owner, one agent, one certificate

Everything here is single: one grantor entry naming the record owner, marital status, and mailing address; one attorney-in-fact entry; one authority section; one signature line carrying the printed name NRS 247.190 places beneath signatures; one certificate. NRS 240.1667 orders its blanks the way the form draws them: the date, the person holding the power of attorney, the words as attorney-in-fact for, then the principal. Shapes in the Nevada record include an owner living out of state whose recorded power names a relative to act on a Nevada parcel, a power granted for one identified transaction, and an agent releasing a fractional interest so whole title stands in a co-owner's name. Community real property presents a different execution architecture, NRS 123.230(3) calling for both spouses to join in the deed and to acknowledge it.

Authority the deed states, and does not supply

Section 12 records that the signer acts solely as attorney-in-fact, not individually, assumes no personal obligation, and takes no interest by signing. What the agent may actually do comes from outside the deed. NRS 162A.480(1) carries general authority over real property, and NRS 162A.470 lets an agent execute, acknowledge, deliver, file or record an instrument the agent considers desirable for a transaction's purpose. NRS 162A.450(1) reserves a list of acts to an express grant, making a gift among them, so a release for no consideration reaches a question a sale does not. Subsection 2 adds that an agent who is not the principal's spouse may not create an interest in the principal's property in the agent unless the power provides otherwise.

A release, with no covenant behind it

The conveyance sentence remises, releases, and forever quitclaims, withholding grant, bargain and sell, so the two limited covenants NRS 111.170 attaches to those words never arise. NRS 111.070 then measures the transfer: the estate the grantor holds at delivery passes, nothing more.

Two recordings, one counter

A deed made under a power of attorney reaches the counter with a second document in mind. The deed answers NRS 111.312, which makes four items conditions of recordation: a parcel number in the upper left of page one, a grantee mailing address, an entry directing where tax statements go, and, for metes and bounds, a preparer statement or a pointer to an earlier recorded document. Above them sits the uppercase affirmation about personal information, on a sheet drawn to NRS 247.110. The power answers to the same office and format rules, NRS 247.120(1)(a) listing powers of attorney to convey real estate among what a recorder records once acknowledged. Agency does not move the tax question: NRS 375.090 exemptions are read against the transfer between owner and grantee, not against the hand that held the pen.

Inside the download

Inside the download: a fillable blank deed, a completed example built on a Pershing County release between co-owners, and a guide walking the numbered sections, the ownership forms a Nevada grantee may take, the certificate, and recording. The power of attorney and the State of Nevada Declaration of Value are separate documents, recorded or obtained separately and not part of this package. Everything here is informational and is not legal advice; how these rules land on one owner, one power, or one chain of title is a question for a Nevada attorney.
