Questions answered? Let's get started!
Washington keeps three deed forms in one chapter of its code, and what separates them is not what passes to the grantee but what travels alongside it. Chapter 64.04 RCW prints a warranty deed at RCW 64.04.030, a bargain and sale deed at RCW 64.04.040, and a quitclaim deed at RCW 64.04.050. This is the third, in its general configuration: natural persons conveying in their own names, promises left out, the interest measured on the day of delivery.
A statute that withholds two things
The operative phrase is conveys and quitclaims. A deed in the substance of the RCW 64.04.050 form is deemed a good and sufficient conveyance, release, and quitclaim of the rights the grantor holds in the premises it describes, and it withholds two things the neighboring forms supply. It attaches no covenant, so nothing in the deed answers for the condition of the title, where RCW 64.04.030 would add covenants of seisin, freedom from encumbrances, and quiet possession. It also stops at the title on hand: RCW 64.04.070 sends after acquired title to a grantee under a deed purporting to convey a greater estate, and RCW 64.04.050 excepts the quitclaim unless the parties add words asking for that reach. Those two absences are why the instrument, often searched as a quit claim deed, releases and reorganizes interests rather than selling with assurances.
Blanks that hold what the parties actually are
Washington characterizes property by the source of its acquisition rather than by the words on the last recorded deed, and this form prints no status or vesting language. Section 1 takes one or two grantors with any status they state, and Section 2 takes one or two grantees with any vesting designation they choose. Two signature blocks follow, headed GRANTOR and SECOND GRANTOR (if applicable), each carrying a printed name, a date, and its own acknowledgment certificate, so two signers may appear on different days or before officers in different counties; a single grantor leaves the second block and certificate blank. Four count patterns fit that architecture: one or two names conveying to one or two names. What the form is not set up as: an entity grantor signing through an officer in a stated capacity, a signer acting under a power of attorney or in a fiduciary office, or three or more record owners on either side.
What the grantees write after their names
The receiving side runs on statutory defaults. Under RCW 64.28.020 an interest created in two or more persons in their own right is an interest in common unless the instrument declares a joint tenancy, and RCW 64.28.010 makes an express written declaration the only route to survivorship. Where spouses or state registered domestic partners take as declared joint tenants, RCW 64.28.040 presumes the interest to be community property while still passing it to the survivor. RCW 11.04.071 abolished survivorship as an incident of tenancy by the entirety, so that designation now carries no effect.
Built for the auditor's first page
The first five numbered sections carry the content RCW 65.04.045(1) assigns to page one: the party names, an abbreviated legal description keyed to the complete one, the assessor's parcel or account number, and reference numbers of documents assigned or released. The return name and address sit at the statutory top left, inside the three inch band held for the auditor, the title directly beneath. Body type is set at 12 point against an 8 point statutory minimum, and no blank asks for a social security number, a birth date, or a parent's maiden name, which RCW 65.04.045(3) keeps off a recorded instrument.
The treasurer, then the auditor
A Washington deed reaches the recording counter second. WAC 458-61A-303 calls for an excise tax affidavit on a transfer of ownership, and under RCW 82.45.090 the auditor waits on the county treasurer, who verifies that the tax is paid or notes that none is owed. The state rate begins at 1.10 percent of the selling price and steps up through higher bands, a local rate rides on top, and an exemption is claimed by code. Counter cost turns on the page fees of RCW 36.18.010, the RCW 36.22.185 covenant homeownership assessment, and the RCW 36.22.250 surcharge.
The download holds the blank deed as a fillable PDF, a completed example prepared for a Thurston County conveyance, and a plain language guide covering the entries, the acknowledgment, the excise tax affidavit, and recording. This package describes Washington law in general terms and is not legal advice.

I took a chance and downloaded the Beneficiary Deed form -- would have liked to have been able to see the form before I paid, but I took a chance as everywhere else I looked online wanted me to fill out form online and then pay $30+ for each deed. I'm doing several, so I was glad to be able to just download the blank form that appears to be one I can directly type into on my computer. Yay! Would use your site again if needed. Thanks!
We appreciate your business and value your feedback. Thank you. Have a wonderful day!

Deed.com is an amazing site. After calling many places and going on many websites to figure out what I needed to submit (most counties cannot help with questions and the place I needed to turn the documents into could not help either, they are not allowed to give legal advice) I came across Deeds.com. It has been so helpful and I was able to research what documents I needed. I purchased one document and after more research I realized I needed a different document. Deed.com refunded my first purchase. I then purchased an Affidavit of Death and a Deed for the county and state I needed them for. Both the example and guide were very helpful and I will be submitting my documents after I have them notarized. I give five stars
Your feedback is greatly appreciated. Thank you for taking the time to share your experience!

Pamela J. 5 out of 5 stars
The form was short, and explainable.. so that is my feed back on that...but we have not received anything back to actually see if we filled the form out correctly. So I definitely can not say if I'm satisfied with it or not until I know that it is approved. I would recommend Coos County web site for Forms to people. Thank you.
Thank you for your feedback. We really appreciate it. Have a great day!

I was quoted $525 to do the exact same thing from Deeds.com for only $25. Seems like a no brainer to me!
Thank you for your feedback. We really appreciate it. Have a great day!
