Questions answered? Let's get started!
One signer, one signature line, one acknowledgment certificate: this fillable North Carolina quitclaim deed is set up for a single individual grantor releasing whatever interest he or she holds in real property located in the state. The deed transfers the grantor's right, title, and interest, if any, to the named grantee without any covenant or warranty of title.
A release of interest, not a promise of title
North Carolina statutes supply no quitclaim deed form, so the instrument works through its own text. This deed remises, releases, and forever quitclaims the grantor's interest, then states expressly that it conveys without covenant or warranty of title and only the interest, if any, the grantor holds. Under N.C. Gen. Stat. Section 39-1, a conveyance passes a fee simple estate unless the deed plainly shows a lesser one; the presumption reaches whatever the grantor actually owns and enlarges nothing. That architecture places the quitclaim, also searched as a quit claim deed or non-warranty deed, at the opposite pole from a general warranty deed: the grantee receives the grantor's position in the title, exactly as it stands in the record.
One grantor, one certificate
The form recites exactly one individual grantor: a single signature line, a printed-name line for the register's index, and one acknowledgment certificate carrying the substance of the statutory certificate in G.S. 10B-41. A marital status line in the grantor section records the status the grantor asserts. Patterns that present this single-signer configuration in the record include one heir releasing an inherited interest to a co-heir, a former co-owner conveying a fractional share so title consolidates in a single name, and an individual releasing a stray interest that surfaced in a title search. The form is not set up for two grantors signing together, for spousal joinder on a married grantor's conveyance, or for property spouses hold as tenants by the entirety, which moves only with the written joinder of both spouses under G.S. 41-58; the guide describes those signing rules and where they come from.
The first page carries North Carolina's recording data
Several North Carolina statutes read the face of a deed, and the form's first page collects what they look for in one block. G.S. 47-17.1 makes a drafter entry on the first page a condition of acceptance by the register of deeds, so the This instrument prepared by line sits at the top. The excise tax line reports the conveyance tax of one dollar per five hundred dollars of consideration under G.S. 105-228.30, which the register collects before recording; gifts without consideration fall within the exempt classes of G.S. 105-228.29. A parcel identifier line serves the county indexing systems authorized by G.S. 161-30. In the body, the deed states the names and mailing addresses of the parties and whether the property includes the primary residence of a grantor, the content G.S. 105-317.2 requires of every North Carolina deed.
Recording in a race state
North Carolina's recording act is a pure race statute. Under G.S. 47-18, a deed is not valid against lien creditors or purchasers for value until it is registered in the county where the land lies, and priority between competing instruments follows the order of registration. Recording fees are uniform statewide, twenty-six dollars for the first fifteen pages of a deed plus four dollars for each additional page under G.S. 161-10. The form follows the format standards of G.S. 161-14(b): letter size paper, a three inch blank recording space at the top of the first page with the instrument type stated at the top, generous margins, and black type well above the statute's nine point legibility floor, so the deed records at the standard fee rather than the nonstandard-document rate.
What arrives in the package
The package contains the quitclaim deed as a fillable PDF, a completed example showing the deed filled in for a realistic Mecklenburg County fact pattern, and a plain language guide that walks through every numbered section, the excise tax and county-level prerequisites, and the recording steps. The materials describe North Carolina law in general terms and are not legal advice.

The forms worked well for entering information. I have finished without much trouble. Since the forms are Adobe PDF files you need the free app to use them but you can't edit unless you have the paid Adobe program. And, it was a reasonable price.
Thank you for your feedback. We really appreciate it. Have a great day!
