Lander County Quitclaim Deed Form

The Nevada Quitclaim Deed (Individual Grantor) releases whatever right, title, and interest one person holds in Nevada real property, through a single signature line and one acknowledgment certificate. The form recites exactly one grantor: the vesting recital, the signature block, and the notarial certificate are all built around that single record owner, so the deed's configuration is visible from its first lines. Buyers searching for a quit claim deed or a quick claim form for Nevada property are looking at the same instrument under its informal names.

A release of interest, not a warranted sale

Nevada law draws its deed boundary at three statutory words. When a deed says grant, bargain and sell, NRS 111.170 implies limited covenants that the grantor has not already conveyed the estate and that it is free of encumbrances made by the grantor. This quitclaim deed deliberately omits those words and says so on its face, stating that no covenant is implied under NRS 111.170. What passes is governed instead by NRS 111.070: the conveyance carries all of the estate the grantor holds at delivery, and no more. The deed remises, releases, and forever quitclaims that interest without promising what the interest is, which is the quitclaim's defining trade: a clean release of whatever the record shows, with no title covenant behind it.

One grantor, one signature, one certificate

The form carries a grantor section reciting one individual's name, marital status, and mailing address; a single signature line with the printed-name line NRS 247.190 requires beneath signatures; and one acknowledgment certificate in the NRS 240.166 statutory short form. Deeds in the Nevada record showing a co-owner releasing an undivided fractional interest to another co-owner, a former spouse conveying an interest after a divorce decree, or a sole owner making a family transfer without consideration present the single-grantor pattern this deed recites. The form is not set up as a two-owner conveyance: Nevada community real property moves only when both spouses join in and acknowledge the deed under NRS 123.230(3), and that is a different execution architecture than the one printed here.

The first page Nevada recorders read

Nevada recording law makes specific first-page content a condition of recording, and NRS 111.312 says the county recorder shall not record a conveyance without it. This form builds each item in: the assessor's parcel number line sits at the top left corner of the first page, the grantee section carries the mailing address the statute requires, a dedicated section names the person to whom tax statements are mailed, and a further section carries the preparer statement or prior recording reference that a metes and bounds legal description triggers. The page geometry follows NRS 247.110: letter size white 20 pound paper, a blank three inch square at the upper right of page one for the recording label, one inch margins, black ink, and type above the statutory 10 point Times New Roman minimum. An affirmation that the document contains no social security number, the statement Nevada recorders look for under NRS 239B.030, is printed at the top of the deed.

Transfer tax and the Declaration of Value

Every deed presented for recording in Nevada travels with a State of Nevada Declaration of Value, the Nevada Tax Commission form the recorder records without fee under NRS 375.060; it is a state form completed and submitted separately with the recording, not part of this package. The recorder computes and collects the real property transfer tax before accepting the deed, at $1.95 for each $500 of value or fraction thereof in most counties, $2.55 in Clark County, and $2.05 in Washoe and Churchill Counties. NRS 375.090 lists the exemptions, including transfers between spouses or domestic partners, transfers between parent and child, and transfers without consideration to or from certain trusts; the exemption is claimed by number on the declaration. The guide walks through the declaration, the exemptions, and the penalty rules that follow a disallowed claim.

What arrives with the form

The download contains the fillable blank deed, a completed example showing a Clark County fact pattern entry by entry, and a guide that covers each section, the vesting forms Nevada recognizes for grantees, the notarization short form, and the recording steps. The materials describe Nevada law in general terms and are informational; they are not legal advice, and a Nevada attorney can address how these rules operate on a specific title.
