Logan County Quitclaim Deed (Two Grantors) Form

This West Virginia Quitclaim Deed is arranged for two individual grantors who join in a single release of West Virginia real property to one grantee. Both owners of record sign the same instrument, each over an acknowledgment certificate of its own, and a third, conditional execution block waits for the grantee: on a no-consideration release outside the statute's family exceptions, this deed reaches the record with three signatures and three notarial certificates.

Two releases, one instrument

The form recites Grantor 1 and Grantor 2 by name and mailing address, and its operative section speaks for both at once: the grantors, and each of them, remise, release, and forever quitclaim their right, title, and interest to the grantee and release all claims upon the property, the words W. Va. Code Section 36-3-7 makes effective as a quitclaim. West Virginia practice writes quitclaim and quit claim interchangeably; the release words, not the label, do the work. Each grantor gives up only what that grantor holds, so the deed operates the same whether the two hold equal undivided halves, unequal fractional shares, or interests of uncertain size. A married couple who both appear in the chain of title, two co-owners of record joining in a release to a purchaser, and two heirs passing the undivided interests they inherited through one instrument all present the two-grantor pattern this deed recites. The form is set up for exactly two individual grantors and a single grantee; a deed by one owner, by three or more owners, or by an entity or fiduciary follows a different execution pattern than this form carries.

The third certificate

Since July 11, 2025, W. Va. Code Section 39-1-2(b)(2) has told county clerks not to accept a quitclaim deed made without consideration, or any deed moving property worth $100 or less with no excise tax paid, unless the grantee signed and acknowledged it as well, or the deed was proved by two witnesses as to the grantee before the clerk. The statute lists its own exceptions: transfer on death deeds, and close family transfers between spouses, between parent and child or the child's spouse, and between grandparent and grandchild or the grandchild's spouse, without consideration or under $2,000. With two grantors, the exception question follows the relationships in the transfer; a mother and father giving a parcel to their daughter sit inside the parent and child exception, while a brother and sister giving the same parcel to their brother sit outside every listed relationship, and their grantee signs. The stakes appear in the statute itself, which makes a deed recorded in violation void, so this form prints the rule in capital letters above the signature lines and carries the grantee's own signature line and certificate.

Both declaration alternatives on the face

Section 9 of the deed prints the declaration of consideration or value from W. Va. Code Section 11-22-6 in the statute's two everyday alternatives, total consideration paid and true and actual value, over a signature, interest, and address block for the declarant. On a taxable transfer, that declaration is what the clerk reads to compute the excise stamps, at the state's $1.10 per $500 plus each county's own excise, together with the $20 Affordable Housing Fund fee on transfers for consideration. On a gift, the completed value alternative documents the exemption W. Va. Code Section 11-22-1 gives a quitclaim made without consideration. The deed still travels with the State Tax Commissioner's sales listing intake sheet of district, tax map and parcel numbers, and mailing addresses that West Virginia clerks collect with every recorded document, and the preparer's name closes the instrument under W. Va. Code Section 39-1-2A.
