Cheshire County Quitclaim Deed (Two Grantors) Form

A New Hampshire quitclaim deed drawn for two grantors puts both owners' signatures on one instrument: two signature lines with printed names beneath them, two acknowledgment certificates, and operative words that grant with quitclaim covenants from each grantor at once. This fillable form prepares that two-owner conveyance under RSA 477:28, for two individuals conveying New Hampshire real estate together.

Two Grantors, One Set of Covenants

The deed recites exactly two grantors, each signing in a personal capacity, and its granting clause runs from both of them together. The quitclaim covenants RSA 477:28 attaches follow the same shape: the grantors covenant that the premises were free from encumbrances made by the grantors except as stated, and that they will warrant and defend against claims arising by, through, or under them, but against none other. With two owners in the chain, the covenants reach what either owner did during their shared time in title and stop at whatever came before them. Ownership patterns that present this configuration in the record include a married couple conveying the home they hold together, two siblings passing co-owned land to a single buyer, and co-owners consolidating a shared parcel into one name. The form recites two individual grantors only; a sole owner, an entity, and a trustee each convey through a different signature architecture than this deed carries.

The Homestead Release Two Spouses Complete

New Hampshire ties the homestead right to a two-signature rule. Under RSA 480:5-a, no deed conveys or encumbers the homestead right, apart from a purchase money mortgage, unless it is executed by the owner and the owner's spouse, and RSA 480:1 sets the exemption at $400,000 for a single person after the amendments effective January 1, 2026. A married couple who both hold record title present that rule's cleanest answer: both spouses are grantors, both sign, and the deed's operative section carries the release of homestead and other interests that the RSA 477:28 statutory form writes after the property description. Marital status entries in each grantor section put the answer on the face of the deed, where the registry examiner and every later title searcher look for it.

Two Certificates, Signed Apart or Together

Each grantor's signature carries its own acknowledgment certificate in the RSA 456-B:8 short form, so the two grantors may acknowledge on different dates, before different officers, or in different states; grantors signing side by side simply complete both certificates the same day, the way the completed example shows a Strafford County couple doing. Acknowledgment before a justice, notary public, or commissioner is the execution formality RSA 477:3 names, and New Hampshire deeds take no subscribing witnesses and no seal.

Blanks Placed Where the Statute Reads Them

The deed positions its entries where New Hampshire's registry statute looks. The property description opens with a sentence naming the town or city, because RSA 478:4-a puts the municipality names in the first sentence of the first description paragraph; the grantee section carries a dedicated entry for the latest mailing address; and a printed name line sits under both grantor signatures, another item a register verifies before accepting a deed. A transfer tax section completes the recording gate of RSA 78-B:6, carrying either a note that the tax rides with the recording or the statement that the transaction is not subject to the RSA 78-B tax. The page geometry follows the statewide Uniform Standards, holding the upper right half of page one open for the register's use.
