Kingfisher County Quitclaim Deed Form

This Oklahoma quitclaim deed is set up for one individual grantor: a single signature line, a single acknowledgment certificate, and a recital section stating the signer's marital and homestead status. The deed conveys all of the grantor's right, title, and interest in the described Oklahoma property, with no warranty of title, under 16 O.S. Sections 18 and 41.

The statutory quitclaim words

Oklahoma writes its quitclaim deed into the statutes. Section 41 of Title 16 patterns the quitclaim on the statutory warranty deed, with the operative words changed to do hereby quitclaim, grant, bargain, sell and convey, and with the warranty phrase omitted. Section 18 supplies the effect: a quitclaim deed in substantial compliance with the statutes conveys all the right, title, and interest of the maker in the premises described. The form carries those operative words verbatim, states expressly that the conveyance comes without covenant or warranty of title, and leaves the allocation of title risk where a quitclaim puts it, with the parties rather than the paper.

One grantor, one certificate

The form recites exactly one grantor, signing personally. The signature section carries one line, the notary section carries one acknowledgment certificate in the individual short form of 49 O.S. Section 119, and Section 7 of the deed carries the grantor's recital of marital and homestead status. That recital carries weight in Oklahoma because a deed relating to a married couple's homestead is valid only when both spouses subscribe it under 16 O.S. Section 4 and the Oklahoma Constitution; the single-signature configuration describes an unmarried grantor, or a married grantor conveying nonhomestead separate property, which 16 O.S. Section 13 permits without the other spouse joining. An unmarried owner releasing a co-ownership stake, a divorced former spouse conveying under a decree's property division, and an owner moving nonhomestead land into a revocable trust present the single-grantor pattern this deed recites.

A conveyance without title promises

A quitclaim deed conveys whatever interest the grantor holds at delivery and makes no promises about what that interest is. None of the warranty covenants that 16 O.S. Section 19 implies in a statutory warranty deed attach: no covenant of ownership, no covenant against encumbrances, no duty to defend the title. Liens, easements, mineral reservations, and restrictions of record ride through the conveyance, and the deed's informational listing section states plainly that a listing or omission creates no warranty. Between the parties the deed is effective on delivery; against everyone else it takes acknowledgment and recording with the county clerk of the county where the land lies, which is what gives the conveyance constructive notice under 16 O.S. Sections 15 and 16. Property owners searching for this instrument also call it a quit claim deed or quick claim deed; Oklahoma's statutes use the single word quitclaim.

What travels with the deed to the counter

Two Oklahoma gates sit at the county clerk's counter alongside the deed. Documentary stamp tax under 68 O.S. Section 3201 applies when the consideration exceeds $100, at 75 cents per $500, and the clerk affixes the stamps before recording, with the buyer's name and address on the face of the deed; exempt transfers, listed in Section 3202, include several of the family and divorce patterns where quitclaim conveyances commonly appear. Separately, 60 O.S. Section 121 keeps a covered deed off the record unless the party obtaining title attaches its notarized land ownership affidavit as an exhibit or an exemption appears on the face of the deed; the form carries a dedicated section for that statement, and the guide walks through the Attorney General's affidavit forms and the statutory exclusions. The formatting itself follows 19 O.S. Section 298: letter size pages, a full 2 inch top margin on every page for the clerk's recording information, and 12 point type comfortably above the legibility standard.
