White Pine County Quitclaim Deed Form

A Nevada quitclaim deed is measured at one moment and no other. Under NRS 111.070 the deed carries every estate the grantor holds when it is delivered, and stops: an interest bought back the following year stays where it is, and nothing runs behind the release to answer for what the interest turned out to be. Buyers reach the instrument searching for a quit claim deed or a quick claim form.

What crosses, and what stays behind

Three words carry covenants in Nevada, and they are absent here by design. NRS 111.170 reads grant, bargain and sell in a fee conveyance as two express covenants and none other, that the grantor conveyed the estate to no one earlier and left it clear of encumbrances of the grantor's own making. The operative sentence here remises, releases, and forever quitclaims instead, and the form states the omission on its face. The deed of trust recorded against the parcel, the utility easement across its rear line, and the recorded restrictions all continue undisturbed, and a grantor who signed a promissory note still owes it afterward.

Blanks with nothing written into them

The party sections are the design decision. Section 1 and Section 3 are open multi-line entries holding one or two individual names apiece, with no status word, capacity phrase, or vesting language preprinted anywhere on the sheet, so the four count patterns all sit on one form: one name releasing to one, one to two, two to one, and two to two. Two signature blocks follow, each with the printed-name line NRS 247.190 places beneath a signature, and each block has its own certificate in the individual short form at NRS 240.166, so two grantors may sign on different days before different officers. A single grantor leaves the second block and its certificate blank. What the form is not built to carry shows in the same place: no entity name and signer-authority entry, no recording reference for a power of attorney, no trust name or trustee capacity line, and no room for a third owner on either side.

The words that pick the estate

Whatever the grantees write after their names does real work. NRS 111.060 turns a grant to two or more people that does not expressly declare a joint tenancy into a tenancy in common, so silence has a result rather than deferring the question. NRS 111.065 asks for an express declaration of joint tenancy, and NRS 111.064 provides that survivorship never arises from community property title unless the instrument expressly declares community property with right of survivorship, and that it ends when either spouse transfers that interest during the marriage. The guide walks the whole Nevada menu, defaults included.

What the county recorder checks first

Four content items are conditions of recording under NRS 111.312, each with a place on the form: the assessor's parcel number at the top left corner of page one, a mailing address for the grantee, the name and address for property tax statements, and, for a metes and bounds description, a preparer statement or a locator for an earlier recorded document. The uppercase affirmation about a social security number opens the page, and the sheet follows NRS 247.110: letter size, one-inch margins, black type, and the upper right of page one left clear for the recording label.

Arithmetic at the counter

Transfer tax is settled before the deed is accepted. NRS 375.023 and NRS 375.026 combine to $1.95 for each $500 of value or fraction of it in most counties, $2.05 in Washoe and Churchill, $2.55 in Clark, and NRS 375.030 puts the computation on the recorder. Run through the example in this package: $27,500.00 of value in Washoe County divides into 55 increments, and 55 at $2.05 comes to $112.75. A State of Nevada Declaration of Value states that figure under NRS 375.060 and carries any exemption claim by its number; it is a Tax Commission form handed in beside the deed and obtained separately.

Three files download together: the fillable blank deed, a completed example worked through a Washoe County release of an undivided two-thirds interest, and a guide covering the numbered sections, the ways a Nevada grantee may hold title, notarization, and recording. The package is informational. It is not legal advice, and how these statutes fall on one parcel or one chain of title is a question for a Nevada attorney.
