Questions answered? Let's get started!
This West Virginia Quitclaim Deed is set up for one individual grantor releasing an interest in West Virginia real property to one grantee. The form recites a single grantor, a single grantee, one grantor signature line with its own acknowledgment certificate, and the conditional grantee execution block that West Virginia's 2025 recording amendment added to quitclaim practice.
A release of whatever interest the grantor holds
West Virginia has no separate statutory quitclaim form. Instead, W. Va. Code Section 36-3-7 gives release words their effect: a deed in which the grantor releases to the grantee all claims upon the land conveys whatever right, title, and interest the grantor has, at law or in equity. This deed carries that release language together with the remise, release, and quitclaim clause, and it states on its face that it contains no covenant or warranty of title. The grantee receives exactly the interest the grantor holds at delivery, subject to whatever liens, easements, reservations, and other matters of record ride with the property. That posture is the reason a quitclaim deed appears so often between people who already know the title: co-owners consolidating ownership in one name, and owners clearing a stray or disputed interest from the record.
When the grantee signs too
A 2025 amendment to W. Va. Code Section 39-1-2, effective July 11, 2025, made West Virginia one of the few states where the grantee's signature can be a recording condition. The county clerk may not admit to record a quitclaim deed without consideration, or any deed transferring property valued at $100 or less on which no excise tax is paid, unless the grantee has also signed and acknowledged the instrument or it is proved by two witnesses as to the grantee before the clerk. The statute excepts transfer on death deeds and certain family transfers, including those between spouses, between parent and child or the child's spouse, and between grandparent and grandchild or the grandchild's spouse, where the transfer is without consideration or for less than $2,000. The consequence is severe: a deed recorded in violation of Section 39-1-2(b)(2) is void and transfers no interest. This form builds the rule in as a conditional execution section, with a signature line and a separate acknowledgment certificate for the grantee, and the completed example shows it in use on a no-consideration release between former co-owners.
One grantor, separate certificates
The form's architecture follows its configuration. Section 1 recites one grantor with a mailing address, Section 2 one grantee, and Section 9 carries the grantor's signature line over an acknowledgment certificate in the short form of W. Va. Code Section 39-4-16: this record was acknowledged before me on a stated date by the named signer. The grantee's conditional certificate stands separately, so grantor and grantee may acknowledge on different dates or before different notaries, in West Virginia or elsewhere. A sole owner making a gift, a co-owner releasing a half interest, and an individual releasing a claimed interest all present the single-grantor pattern this deed recites; deeds by entities, fiduciaries, or two or more grantors follow different execution patterns than this form is set up to carry.
The declaration, the stamps, and the sales listing form
West Virginia recording arrives with tax paperwork attached. The deed itself carries the Declaration of Consideration or Value of W. Va. Code Section 11-22-6, in the statute's own alternatives for consideration paid or true and actual value, signed by a person with an interest in the conveyance. Every document presented for recording is also accompanied by the State Tax Commissioner Sales Listing Form, STC 12:39, a separate intake form covering the tax map and parcel numbers, the district, the parties, and the new owner's mailing addresses. Where the transfer is taxable, excise stamps are purchased from the clerk, at $1.10 per $500 of value for the state plus a county tax that varies by county; a quitclaim deed without consideration is exempt, and the declaration on the face of the deed is what shows the clerk the exemption.
The download delivers this quitclaim deed as a fillable PDF, a completed example showing one realistic Kanawha County transaction, and a line-by-line guide to the form's sections, the signing formalities, and the recording process. The materials are informational and are not legal advice.

Forms do not allow enough space for fields and cutoff. Need to expand the fields to allow for more writing. I ended up re-typing to be able to include full property description. Would be nice if available in Word format rather than only PDF format.
Thank you for your feedback. We really appreciate it. Have a great day!

The service provided by the staff at Deeds.com is consistently excellent with prompt replies and smooth recording transactions. I am grateful to have their service available as driving to downtown Phoenix to record documents is always a daunting prospect. Their assistance in recording our firm's documents has been 100% accurate and a pleasure.

Form and instructions were useful. But I suggest creating a form for transferring a deed pursuant to a trust. The existing form is based on a will going through probate so it doesn't fit the trust situation in some respects.
Thank you for your feedback. We really appreciate it. Have a great day!
