When presenting a quitclaim deed to the county auditor in the state of Washington, it is required to be in writing, signed by the parties bound to it, and acknowledged by a person who is authorized to take acknowledgments. Additional formatting requirements will apply to a quitclaim deed. If a quitclaim deed that relates to community or separate property includes a description of real estate that is described by lot and block or addition or plat, it will not be admitted to record until the plat of such an addition has been made a matter of record (RCW 65.04.30).
In order for a quitclaim deed to be valid against a later buyer who purchases the same property in good faith and for a valuable consideration, it must be recorded with the county auditor in the county where the property is situated. The priority of a quitclaim deed is determined by the order of recording. In the state of Washington, the moment a quitclaim deed is filed for record, it is considered recorded.
(Washington QD Package includes form, guidelines, and completed example)

After some initial general confusion -- (we sold a small piece of land privately and therefore do not typically prepare such documentation (!)) -- we were able to purchase and download all forms from Deeds.com and understand how to complete it/them. The help is all there, we just needed to read and study it - the "Example" helped alot. We were able to complete the Document per your online form(s) and then take it to be signed/notarized - and take the completed paper document to the Registry -- and it is now all registered and we are All Set. rn Took the morning (only). THANK YOU. A wonderful tool!!
We appreciate your business and value your feedback. Thank you. Have a wonderful day!
