Campbell County Quitclaim Deed Form

One grantor, one signature line, one acknowledgment certificate. This Tennessee quitclaim deed is set up for a single individual releasing whatever interest that person holds in Tennessee real property, the configuration behind most family transfers, divorce settlements, and co-owner cleanups in the state's deed records.

A conveyance of interest, not a promise of title

Tennessee writes the quitclaim into its statute of sufficient deed forms. T.C.A. Section 66-5-103(2) states it in one sentence: I hereby quitclaim to A. B. all my interest in the following land. A deed carrying that substance conveys the grantor's right, title, and interest, whatever that interest may be, and nothing more; there is no covenant of title to sue on, and liens, easements, and taxes ride with the property. That is the instrument's honest bargain, and it is why the quitclaim, sometimes searched as a quit claim deed or quick claim deed, dominates transfers between people who already know each other and the property: relatives, former spouses, and co-owners rearranging shares.

One grantor, one signature

The form recites exactly one grantor, an individual signing personally. It carries a single signature line, a single acknowledgment certificate with the substance of the statutory certificate in T.C.A. Section 66-22-107, and a separate sworn oath block completed by the grantee or the grantee's agent. A former spouse releasing an interest under a divorce decree, an heir passing an inherited share to a sibling, and a parent conveying a fractional interest to an adult child all present the one-grantor pattern this deed recites. The form is not set up as a two-grantor or entity conveyance: a married couple conveying together, a trustee holding under a trust, or an LLC each sign through a different execution architecture than the single personal signature this form carries.

What Tennessee requires on the face of the deed

Tennessee's registration statutes make several recitals part of the deed itself, and the form collects each one: the derivation of title recital under T.C.A. Section 66-24-110, identifying the recorded instrument, inheritance, or absence of a recorded source from which the grantor's interest derives; the name and address of the new owner and of the party responsible for the property taxes under Section 66-24-114; the county assessor's parcel identification number under Section 66-24-122; the improved property notation at the end of the legal description, the item Section 66-24-113 requires in metropolitan Nashville and Davidson County; and the preparer statement of Section 66-24-115. A register of deeds checks for these at the counter, so a deed drafted without them stops at intake rather than at closing.

The oath of value and Tennessee's transfer tax

Recording a Tennessee deed is also a tax event. The state recordation tax on realty transfers runs at thirty seven cents per one hundred dollars of consideration or value, collected by the register from the grantee before the deed records. The quitclaim receives distinct treatment: under T.C.A. Section 67-4-409(a)(4), a deed in the statutory quitclaim form, conveying only the grantor's interest, is taxed on the actual consideration paid rather than on the property's full value, which for a ten dollar family transfer is a meaningfully different number. The form carries the sworn oath of consideration or value the statute requires, signed by the grantee or the grantee's agent before a notary, and the completed example shows the oath, the acknowledgment, and every numbered section filled in for a realistic Knox County transfer.
