Campbell County Gift Deed Form

A Wyoming gift deed moves real property from one person to another for love and affection, with no money changing hands and no promise about the title riding along. This form prepares that conveyance for one or two natural persons giving Wyoming land to one or two grantees, drafted around the two features that separate a gift from a sale in Wyoming: a stated consideration the law treats as a gift, and the absence of any implied covenant.

A conveyance that states its own consideration

Wyoming prints statutory forms for deeds that warrant, specially warrant, or quitclaim, each defined by its operative words, and prints no form for a gift. A gift deed is instead an ordinary conveyance under Wyoming Statutes 34-1-106 whose consideration is love and affection rather than a price, and the deed says so in its own words. Section 3 states that the conveyance is a gift, that the grantor receives no monetary consideration, and that the grantor intends a present and irrevocable gift; Section 8 then gives, grants, and conveys the described property with all of the grantor's estate in it. Under Wyoming Statutes 34-2-101 a conveyance passes the grantor's entire estate unless a lesser estate is expressed.

No covenant unless the deed says so

Wyoming Statutes 34-1-135 provides that no covenant is implied in a conveyance of real estate other than minerals. A deed that does not use the statutory words conveys and warrants carries no covenant, and this gift deed states the result on its face: the conveyance is made without covenants of warranty of title. The grantee takes the donor's title as it stands, subject to the easements, mortgages, and other recorded matters the deed lists in its encumbrances section, and the donor undertakes no duty to defend the title.

The homestead release inside the deed

Wyoming puts its homestead rule on the face of the instrument. Wyoming Statutes 34-2-121 provides that a deed conveying a homestead contains in substance the words hereby releasing and waiving all rights under and by virtue of the homestead exemption laws of this state, and is signed and acknowledged by the owner and the owner's spouse; a homestead conveyance without those elements is void. This form prints the release inside the granting sentence, so it travels with every conveyance made on it, and it carries a third signature block and acknowledgment certificate for the spouse of a grantor who is not a record owner. Where the property is not a homestead, the grantor is unmarried, or both spouses sign as grantors, that block stays blank.

One or two grantors, one or two grantees

This is the base configuration of the Wyoming gift deed line. The grantor and grantee blocks are open: each receives one or two natural-person names, the grantor block receives the marital status recital and existing ownership form the guide teaches, and the grantee block receives any designation of how the grantees will hold, such as as joint tenants with right of survivorship and not as tenants in common. Two grantor signature blocks follow, each with its own acknowledgment certificate, so co-owners in different towns or states can acknowledge separately; a single grantor leaves the second block blank. The form is not set up as a conveyance by a corporation, trust, personal representative, or attorney-in-fact, as a deed to a trustee, or as a transfer by or to three or more persons.

What the county clerk reads at the counter

Every Wyoming deed arrives with a sworn Statement of Consideration, which Wyoming Statutes 34-1-142(b) makes a condition of recording; for a gift of more than half the property's value, subsection (c) lets the presenting party leave the price and terms off the statement. Wyoming levies no transfer tax on a deed, and acknowledgment before a notarial officer, with no witnesses, is the signing formality.

This purchase delivers the Wyoming gift deed as a fillable PDF, a completed example filled in for a Laramie County gift from two co-owners to two grantees, and a plain-language guide covering the statutory framework, every blank on the form, the homestead and signing rules, and the recording steps. The form and guide describe Wyoming law in general terms and are not legal advice.
