Mineral County Quitclaim Deed (Married Couple as Grantors) Form

Both halves of a married couple sign the Nevada Quitclaim Deed (Married Couple as Grantors): the form recites two grantors who state that they are married to each other, prints a signature line for each spouse, and closes with an acknowledgment certificate for each signature. It is a Nevada quitclaim deed, the instrument also searched as a quit claim or quick claim form, prepared for the specific case in which the two people giving up an interest are spouses. The marital configuration is printed into Section 1 itself, not left to inference from the names.

A deed built around the marriage

Nevada treats most property acquired during a marriage as community property, and NRS 123.230(3) permits a sale, conveyance, or encumbrance of community real property only when both spouses join in executing the instrument and both acknowledge it. This form's architecture answers that statute point for point: a printed sentence in the grantor section reciting that the two grantors are married to each other and that both join in the deed's execution and acknowledgment, a signature line for each spouse with the printed name NRS 247.190 places beneath every signature, and a separate NRS 240.166 short form certificate for each spouse, so the two acknowledgments may happen on different days or in front of different notarial officers. Nevada record patterns wearing this shape include a couple moving title into the trustees of their revocable living trust, and spouses deeding to themselves to take back under an express vesting declaration, the route NRS 111.064 and NRS 111.065 open for changing how a married couple holds. The form recites exactly two grantors who are married to each other; a sole owner's release, or a conveyance by co-owners with no marital relation between them, presents a configuration this form is not set up to carry.

Whatever the couple holds, and nothing promised

The operative sentence remises, releases, and forever quitclaims. Because the deed avoids the words grant, bargain and sell, the limited covenants NRS 111.170 attaches to those words never arise, and the form says so expressly on its face. NRS 111.070 supplies the measure of the transfer: every interest the grantors hold at delivery passes, unless the deed's own terms carve out less. The grantee therefore takes the couple's actual position in the title, whatever the record makes it.

Recorder items, already in position

Nevada's shall-not-record statute, NRS 111.312, is satisfied on the face of the form: the assessor's parcel number line occupies the top left corner of page one, the grantee entry holds the required mailing address, a numbered section directs where tax statements go, and another carries the preparer statement or prior recording reference required when a legal description runs in metes and bounds. The NRS 239B.030 social security number affirmation opens the document, and the sheet itself follows NRS 247.110: letter size, the upper right of page one left blank for the recorder's label, one inch margins, and black type comfortably above the statutory minimum.

Spouses, trusts, and the Declaration of Value

A State of Nevada Declaration of Value rides with the deed to the recorder's counter, and the real property transfer tax is computed and collected before the deed is accepted. Most Nevada counties collect $1.95 on each $500 of value; Washoe and Churchill collect $2.05, and Clark collects $2.55. Married-couple transfers frequently land in the exemption list of NRS 375.090: an interspousal transfer is an exempt category, and a transfer of title to or from a trust without consideration is exempt when a certificate of trust is presented at the time of transfer, the exemption matching this form's completed example, in which a Douglas County couple deeds the family lot to themselves as trustees. A claimed exemption later disallowed draws the NRS 375.030 penalty and interest, a sequence the guide lays out.

Inside the download

The package holds the fillable deed for a married couple, a completed example worked through a Douglas County trust-funding fact pattern, and a guide covering every numbered section, the ways Nevada grantees may hold title, notarization for each spouse, and the recording steps. The Declaration of Value is a state form submitted separately and is not included. These materials describe Nevada law in general terms and are informational only; they are not legal advice, and a Nevada attorney can say how the rules bear on a particular title or marriage.
