Iron County Quitclaim Deed Form

A Utah quitclaim deed set up for one grantor: a single owner signs alone, and the deed conveys whatever right, title, interest, and estate that person holds in the property on the day of the conveyance. This is the individual grantor configuration of the Utah quitclaim deed, built on the statutory form in Utah Code Section 57-1-13 and formatted for recording with a Utah county recorder.

A conveyance of the interest the grantor actually holds

The operative word in the statutory form is quitclaims. A Utah quitclaim deed, often searched as a quit claim deed, passes the grantor's present interest with no warranty or covenant of title: the grantee receives exactly what the grantor owns of record, whether that is the whole fee, an undivided share, or nothing at all. Utah sharpens the point with a rule many states leave to case law: the after-acquired title statute, Utah Code Section 57-1-10, expressly does not apply to quitclaim deeds, so title the grantor first acquires later does not flow through an earlier quitclaim.

That posture is what puts quitclaim deeds throughout Utah's county records on transfers between people who already know the title: relatives passing property within the family, a co-owner releasing an undivided interest to another co-owner, a former spouse conveying under a divorce decree, and signers clearing a stray interest that clouds a chain of title. In each of those patterns, the record shows a conveyance measured by the grantor's actual interest rather than by title promises.

One grantor, one signature, one certificate

This version of the deed recites a single grantor. The form carries one signature line with a printed name beneath it, the entry Utah Code Section 17-71-403 has the recorder index, and one acknowledgment certificate, completed by a notary in whatever state the grantor appears. The grantee side stays open: Section 2 accepts one grantee or several, with a co-ownership designation following the names. For deeds on or after May 1, 2024, Utah Code Section 57-1-5 presumes that two or more persons take as joint tenants with rights of survivorship unless the deed declares another form, and the included guide walks through the words that make each Utah vesting express.

The deed also states the grantee's mailing address for assessment and taxation. Utah Code Section 57-3-105 makes that address, together with the legal description, a condition of recordability for a document conveying title, so the form builds both into its numbered sections rather than leaving them to be discovered at the counter.

Formatted for Utah's recording counter

The document is laid out to the format standards a Utah county may adopt under Utah Code Section 17-71-402: white letter size paper, a 2.5 by 4.5 inch recording stamp space at the upper right of the first page, one inch margins, single sided black text within the statutory density limit, and a first page title identifying the transaction. A tax parcel identification number line sits at the upper left of the first page, where the statute lets the number ride in the margin. Utah has no statewide transfer tax and no consideration declaration for ordinary deeds, and the statewide base recording fee is 40 dollars for a document with up to ten legal descriptions, so in most counties the deed itself is the whole recording package.

The purchase delivers this Utah form as a fillable PDF, a completed example showing the deed filled in for a Salt Lake County fact pattern, and a plain language guide that explains every numbered section, the acknowledgment, the grantee vesting options, and the recording steps. The materials describe Utah law in general terms and are not legal advice.
