Questions answered? Let's get started!

A deed between husband and wife reaches the West Virginia record on a single signature, and the reason sits in the recording statute itself. This form prepares that instrument: a married owner of a West Virginia parcel releases to a spouse whatever interest the owner holds, over one signature line and one notarial certificate, with nothing on the page waiting for the grantee to sign.

The signature the statute leaves out

Since July 11, 2025, West Virginia has treated a grantee's signature as a recording condition on gift quitclaims. W. Va. Code Section 39-1-2(b)(2) closes the record to a quitclaim made for no consideration when the grantee has not signed and acknowledged it, and a deed recorded against that rule is void. The subsection then carves out the transfers where it does not bite, and the first named relationship is husband and wife: the clerk of the county commission admits a transfer between spouses, made without consideration or for consideration under $2,000, even though the grantee never signed. A spousal release therefore travels on the conveying spouse's signature alone. Because the exception turns on a fact the clerk cannot read from the parties' names, Section 3 states the marriage on the face of the deed, beside the two code sections that depend on it.

A release measured against the interest one spouse holds

The deed works through release words rather than promises. W. Va. Code Section 36-3-7 construes a deed releasing all claims upon the land as a quitclaim of every right, title, and interest the grantor holds at law or in equity, and Section 9 of this form carries those words with a printed statement that no covenant or warranty accompanies them. A deed of trust, an easement, or a restriction of record stays exactly where it was. A gift needs no invented dollar figure either, because Section 36-3-6 provides that a deed is not invalid merely because consideration is neither paid nor recited.

One grantor, one grantee, one certificate

Section 1 takes the conveying spouse with a mailing address, Section 2 takes the receiving spouse, and Section 10 carries a single signature block over one acknowledgment certificate in the short form of W. Va. Code Section 39-4-16. The released interest vests in the one grantee named. Spouses performing a marital settlement agreement that directs the parcel into one of their names, spouses moving a parcel between them so that one holds title alone at a refinancing, and a spouse deeding back a parcel the other bought and titled in the first spouse's name all present the spouse-to-spouse pattern this deed recites. A conveyance running to both spouses together is outside the form: two names on the receiving side create a co-ownership, and West Virginia supplies it no survivorship unless the instrument manifests one under Section 36-1-20, Section 36-1-19 having made a deceased joint tenant's or entireties tenant's share pass as though held in common.

What a spousal transfer does not settle

Two provisions of chapter 48 follow property that moves between spouses. Under Section 48-29-202 a spouse who pays for property and takes title in the other's name is presumed to have made a gift, absent evidence of contrary intention, and the same section withdraws that presumption in an equitable distribution action, where a gift between spouses must be affirmatively proved. Under Section 48-29-201 the burden of proof falls on the receiving spouse when the conveyance is later questioned by the conveying spouse or that spouse's heir, devisee, or creditor. A recorded deed fixes the record title without answering either question in advance.

The exemption line the clerk reads

Clerks compute excise stamps from the declaration of consideration or value that W. Va. Code Section 11-22-6 places on the instrument, and they publish that a deed claiming an exemption names the ground for it. Section 11 carries the declaration with that line built in, and the completed example fills it with the ground a spousal transfer relies on, the definition of document in W. Va. Code Section 11-22-1 that leaves out transfers between husband and wife. The State Tax Commissioner Sales Listing Form, STC 12:39, comes from the clerk, travels with the deed at the counter, and is prepared separately.

The warranty deed form, the explanation and the example were well worth the price, as they gave me more confidence I was filling the deed out correctly. I cross referenced all of it with the county registrars website and the previous warranty deed.

The site is fine with one exception. About half the pdf files I downloaded were corrupted. I could not open them or view their contents. Fortunately, the link continued to work, so after I discovered this, I downloaded the corrupted files again, and they now seem fine. I do not know if my computer or the website caused this odd problem.

It would be helpful if the numbers on the instruction sheet were on the form. I was confused on page two if the signatures were for witnesses or buyer (grantee). I do like the form and will use it in the future. Also page one Grantee's signature only has one line and if there are two buyers need another line.

As a real estate professional, I've had the opportunity to use various legal form providers over the years, but none have matched the quality and user-friendliness of Deeds.com's real estate legal forms. The forms themselves are comprehensive, up-to-date, and in line with current real estate laws and regulations, which is paramount in our field. The clarity and thoroughness of the documentation ensured that I could complete with confidence, knowing that every detail was covered. I wholeheartedly recommend their services and look forward to continuing our partnership.

I thought the forms were reasonably priced, the instructions included in the packet were thorough, and the examples helpful. Thank you for the additional CDR forms too. I contacted the Recorder's office via email with a question and Jennifer Bowser answered promptly. Job well done! However, when I delivered the deed and Real Property Transfer Declaration to the Clerk's office in Lafayette, the clerk was unfamiliar with the Declaration document being submitted and it took some time to convince her to submit the form without charging the recording fee. She even tried to phone the recorder's office for clarification, but no one answered. There then was an additional form at that office that I had to complete called Recording Request/Transmittal Form. I would suggest including that form with instructions in your on-line packet to speed up the process when a Deed is delivered to the County Clerk's satellite office. I do not expect every clerk to know all the particulars of recording requirements but a little knowledge wouldn't hurt.

I purchased this thinking I would be able to complete the QuitClaim Deed myself because an example was provided, but you still need to be a lawyer to figure all the wording out. It was not worth the price I paid for it.
