Tillman County Quitclaim Deed (Two Grantors) Form

This Oklahoma quitclaim deed carries two grantor signature blocks, an acknowledgment certificate for each signer, and a joint recital of marital and homestead status covering both grantors. Two owners release whatever right, title, and interest they hold in one instrument, with no title promises, under the quitclaim form the Oklahoma statutes supply.

Two grantors, one deed

The form recites exactly two grantors, each signing personally: two signature lines with printed names and dates, and two acknowledgment certificates in the individual short form of 49 O.S. Section 119, so the signers may appear before different notaries, on different dates, or in different states. A married couple conveying property they hold together, two heirs consolidating inherited fractional interests in a single relative, and unmarried co-owners releasing their shares to one buyer present the two-grantor pattern this deed recites. Each signature moves only that signer's own interest, so one deed subscribed by both delivers the whole of what the pair holds at delivery.

The second signature and the Oklahoma homestead rule

Oklahoma writes a two-signature requirement into its constitution for one class of conveyance. Under Article XII, Section 2 of the Oklahoma Constitution and 16 O.S. Section 4, no deed relating to the homestead of a married couple is valid unless both husband and wife subscribe it, apart from narrow statutory exceptions such as a lease not exceeding one year. A married couple quitclaiming the home they occupy signs as a pair because the law accepts nothing less, and the joint recital in Section 8 of this form is where the grantors put that marital and homestead picture on the record. Two co-owners who are not married to each other sign for a different reason: each holds an undivided share, and a deed subscribed by one alone would move only that share.

What two quitclaim signatures deliver

A quitclaim conveys and releases; it never promises. The operative words come from 16 O.S. Section 41, which patterns the quitclaim on the statutory warranty deed, inserts the word quitclaim into the granting phrase, and drops the warranty language, and 16 O.S. Section 18 gives the completed deed its effect: it passes all the right, title, and interest both makers hold in the premises. None of the covenants that 16 O.S. Section 19 implies in a warranty deed attach, so mortgages, easements, mineral severances, and restrictions of record survive the transfer untouched. Buyers searching for a two-owner quit claim deed or quick claim deed form are looking at this same instrument; the statute spells the word quitclaim.

At the recording counter

Between the parties the deed takes effect on delivery; acknowledgment and recording with the county clerk of the county where the land lies are what make it good against third persons under 16 O.S. Sections 15 and 16. Two statutory gates travel with it. Documentary stamps under 68 O.S. Section 3201 attach when more than One Hundred Dollars of consideration or value changes hands, computed at seventy-five cents per Five Hundred Dollars, and the exemption list in Section 3202 reaches many family and no-consideration patterns, with the grantee's name and address stated on the deed's face. Separately, 60 O.S. Section 121 bars the county clerk from accepting a covered deed unless the incoming owner's notarized land ownership affidavit is attached as an exhibit or an exemption is stated on the deed's face; Section 9 of this form holds that statement, and the guide covers the Attorney General's affidavit forms and the statutory exclusions. The pages meet the post-SB57 format statute, 19 O.S. Section 298: 2 inch top margins on every page, 1 inch elsewhere, and 12 point type.
