White Pine County Quitclaim Deed (Interspousal) Form

Two signatures sit on opposite sides of one conveyance in the Nevada Quitclaim Deed (Interspousal). One spouse signs as the grantor, releasing an interest in Nevada real property; the other signs directly beneath, joining in the execution as the grantee who receives it. The form recites one grantor and one grantee, each identified in Section 1 and Section 2 as the spouse of the other, and it closes with an acknowledgment certificate for each signature. An interspousal transfer deed, a spousal quit claim, a quick claim between spouses: the informal names all point here.

Why the receiving spouse signs as well

NRS 123.230(3) allows community real property to be sold, conveyed, or encumbered only where both spouses join in executing the instrument and both acknowledge it. This deed answers that statute inside its own signature architecture. The conveying spouse signs on the grantor line, the receiving spouse signs on a joinder line below it, and each signature carries its own certificate in the NRS 240.166 short form, so the two acknowledgments may be taken on separate days or before separate officers. A printed name line sits under each signature, where NRS 247.190 places it.

Community property, separate property, and a writing between spouses

Property acquired during a Nevada marriage is community property under NRS 123.220, and one of that statute's own exceptions is an agreement in writing between the spouses. Section 7 of this deed is drafted as that writing: it recites the marriage, records the grantee spouse's joinder, and states the parties' agreement that the interest conveyed passes to the grantee as that spouse's separate property. NRS 123.270 requires a marriage contract or settlement to be written and acknowledged in the manner of a land conveyance, which is how this deed is signed. No Nevada appellate decision was located construing a deed as the writing NRS 123.220 contemplates, and the guide says so rather than glossing over it.

A release, with no title covenant attached

The conveyance clause remises, releases, and forever quitclaims the grantor's right, title, and interest, while withholding the three words that would change the deed's legal weight: grant, bargain and sell carry the limited covenants of NRS 111.170 unless restrained, and this form states on its face that no such covenant is implied. NRS 111.070 measures what passes, carrying the grantor's whole estate at delivery unless express terms reserve less.

One grantor, one grantee, and the record patterns that present them

The configuration shows in the numbered sections: one grantor entry, one grantee entry with the mailing address NRS 111.312(1) makes a recording condition, the marital recital, and two signature blocks on opposite sides of the transaction. Nevada records show this shape where one spouse releases an interest so that title stands in the other spouse's name alone ahead of a refinance, and where one spouse confirms the other's separate ownership of property brought into the marriage. A deed naming two grantees, or one building survivorship between spouses, presents a configuration this form is not set up to carry.

Exemption 5 and the Declaration of Value

A State of Nevada Declaration of Value rides along with every recorded deed, on the Tax Commission form NRS 375.060 prescribes; it is handed in separately and is not part of this package. NRS 375.090(5) exempts a conveyance where the owner is related to the person receiving the property within the first degree of lineal consanguinity or affinity, and Nevada Attorney General Opinion 2007-07 reads first degree affinity to include a spouse, so a transfer between spouses is ordinarily claimed under that numbered exemption. A claim later disallowed draws the notice, penalty, and monthly interest of NRS 375.030.

What the first page has to carry

NRS 111.312 tells the recorder not to record without four items, each of which has its place here: the parcel number at the upper left of page one, the grantee's mailing address, the entry naming where tax statements go, and the preparer statement or prior recording reference for a metes and bounds description. The Social Security number affirmation opens the document, and the sheet is built to NRS 247.110.

Inside the download: the fillable interspousal quitclaim deed, a completed example worked on a Nye County fact pattern, and a guide covering each numbered section, the ownership forms a grantee may take, notarization, and the recording steps. The guide and the example describe Nevada law for information only. They are not legal advice, and how these rules land on one particular title is a question for a Nevada attorney.
