Questions answered? Let's get started!
The blank that defines this New York quitclaim deed sits on the receiving side. Section 2 names a trustee, the trust that trustee serves, and the date of the trust instrument, so the land records show not only who takes the property but in what capacity. This form prepares a quitclaim deed, also typed as a quit claim deed, for New York real property moving out of one individual owner's name and into the hands of a trustee.
Why the trustee is the grantee, and not the trust
Estates, Powers and Trusts Law Section 7-2.1(a) puts the legal estate of an express trust in the trustee, subject only to the execution of the trust, and leaves the beneficiary with no legal estate and a right to enforce. An ordinary lifetime trust therefore takes title through the person serving as its trustee, which is how the grantee is described on this deed. A narrow exception in Section 7-2.1(c) lets the trusts named in Sections 9-1.5, 9-1.6, and 9-1.7, business trusts among them, acquire property in the trust's own name.
Recording as the act that funds the trust
Section 7-1.18 measures a lifetime trust by what has actually been transferred into it, and states that a transfer is not accomplished by a recital of assignment, holding, or receipt in the trust instrument. Where the person who set up the trust is also its sole trustee, the same section defines transfer of a registrable asset such as real estate as the recording of the deed in the name of the trust or trustee. In that common arrangement the trip to the clerk is not merely a priority step, it is the funding step.
The trustee-grantee configuration
The form recites one individual grantor signing personally, and one grantee taking as trustee of one named trust, with separate blanks for the trustee, the trust name, the date of the trust instrument, and the grantee mailing address. A single signature block and a single acknowledgment certificate follow, in the substance of the Real Property Law Section 309-a uniform form; the trustee signs nothing, since a New York deed is executed by the grantor alone. Where two or more people take as trustees, Estates, Powers and Trusts Law Section 6-2.2(e) makes them joint tenants unless the instrument provides otherwise, and Section 9 of this deed leaves that fiduciary default in place. Patterns appearing in the record with this configuration include an owner placing a home into a revocable lifetime trust and a parent moving a family parcel to the trustee of a trust set up for children. Deeds executed by two record owners, by spouses together, or by a business entity present different party and signature sections than this form carries.
A release with no promise behind it
The operative words come from the statutory short form of Real Property Law Section 258: remise, release, and quitclaim. Nothing is said about the state of the title, and Section 251 keeps it that way by refusing to imply covenants into a New York conveyance. Section 10 prints the short trust fund statement that Lien Law Section 13(5) accepts in place of the full covenant, which protects a recorded conveyance against mechanics' liens filed after a building improvement has begun.
The tax forms that ride along
Transfers into a trust are usually made for no money, and Tax Law Section 1405(b) carries two exemptions that reach them: paragraph 4 for a conveyance without consideration and otherwise than in connection with a sale, and paragraph 6 for a mere change of identity or form of ownership where beneficial ownership does not change. Neither exemption removes the paperwork. A joint TP-584 return accompanies the conveyance, TP-584-NYC where the parcel sits in the five boroughs, and the RP-5217 transfer report goes in on legal size paper with its filing fee. A mortgage left on the parcel counts toward consideration under Section 1401(d), which is where a transfer made as a gift can still meet the tax.
The download holds three items: the blank deed as a fillable PDF, a completed example prepared for an Ulster County transfer into a revocable lifetime trust, and a plain language guide covering the eleven numbered sections, the certificate, and the filings that travel with the deed. The materials are informational and are not legal advice; a New York attorney can address how a conveyance to a trustee lands on a particular title.

The Deed of trust form was fine but the promissory note was less user friendly since I needed to change a few things that were fixed in the template. I ended up using white-out after I got no response when I emailed the help site that was provided in one of your emails, so it looks a little odd but should be usable
Thank you for your feedback. We really appreciate it. Have a great day!

I had an issue due to the fact that I had many beneficiaries. I was and still am not sure how to handle this. We do have Adobe Pro and can modify the form, if needed. But I would like to talk to your organization for more information.
While we are unable to assist you specifically with completing the document we can note that this is addressed in the guide. Information that does not fit in the available space should be included in an exhibit page.

I am mostly satisfied with my Deeds.Com experience. Not sure if you can do anything about this, but since it is fairly common, I thought the Quit Claim Form would have a section specifically for adding spouse to a deed.
Thank you for your feedback. We really appreciate it. Have a great day!

This product is good but the text boxes are not large enough to contain the information required for the form. Even dates do not display with the entry you make.
Thank you for your feedback. We really appreciate it. Have a great day!

I am excited for your service. I'm counting on this working-and calling to see if I can e-file with the County of dealing with, and if so, your service will have saved me more years of stress, worrying about how to correct a deed that was titled incorrectly.
Thank you!

Although I am sure that the Quit Claim form was acceptable for my county, I felt that it was not formatted in the manor that I have seen while viewing the other deeds recorded. So that forms that I received were not useful to me.
Thank you for your feedback. We really appreciate it. Have a great day!
