North Carolina --- Quitclaim document requirements and recording act

Both the grantor and grantee are required to sign a quitclaim deed executed in North Carolina. If there is more than one grantor or grantee, a signature from each is required. The grantor's signature must be acknowledged in accordance with the North Carolina notarial acts (47-38) Non-warranty deeds and quitclaim deeds do not need to show a source of title in order to record. Specific requirements must be met when registering a quitclaim deed. Quitclaim deeds are sometimes referred to as non-warranty deeds in this state.

A quitclaim deed is not valid against lien creditors or purchasers for a valuable consideration until it is registered with the Register of Deeds in the appropriate county in North Carolina. The priority of recorded documents is based on the order of registration, unless it is stated otherwise on the registered quitclaim deed or on a separate registered instrument that is duly executed by the party whose priority interest is adversely affected. If instruments are registered simultaneously, the earliest document number or the sequential book and page number listed on the document will establish priority. (47-18).

Thank you for being there for me when I couldn't get it done myself. I was a little confused with the operation at first but then became easy. I will definitely be using you again and again. Even after the pandemic is over.It's approximately 15 miles one way to downtown Orlando to do what you did for me sitting at my house

Ordered the quitclaim forms. Amazing value! Received everything I needed and then some. The forms were easy to use and understand with the help of the guide. The best part was that once completed I used deeds.com's e-recording service to submit the document for recording (our county offices are still closed). Outstanding!

Ordering and directions were easy. The only thing missing in the instructions was how to record by mail. Thanks!

Thank you Christine. We'll work on making it more clear that one can find mailing information in our recording section. Have a great day!

Price seemed high (~$28) for just some forms (especially because we may not actually use the forms), but it beats navigating the Hawaii state and Honolulu county websites for forms. It would be better if a single button push would download all 7 or 8 forms.

Thank you for your feedback. We really appreciate it. Have a great day!

I thought the instructions could have been a little better. I didn't know how to do this if the spouses are married but living in separate residences. Also I didn't understand the "Prior Instrument Reference". That should be explained better. Very sketchy instructions.
