Fremont County Quitclaim Deed (Individual Grantor) Form

The Wyoming Quitclaim Deed (Individual Grantor) is a fill-in-the-blank deed built for exactly one owner: a single grantor who conveys and quitclaims whatever interest that grantor holds in Wyoming real estate. The form follows the statutory quitclaim wording of Wyoming Statutes 34-2-104 and carries one grantor signature line with its own acknowledgment certificate, plus a spousal homestead release block for the conveyances that call for it.

A deed that passes existing rights, not promises

Under Wyoming Statutes 34-2-105, a deed in substance in the statutory form is a sufficient conveyance, release, and quitclaim of all the then existing legal and equitable rights of the grantor in the described premises. It makes no promise about what those rights are: there is no covenant of seisin, no covenant against encumbrances, and no duty to defend title, and under Wyoming Statutes 34-1-135 no covenant is implied in an ordinary Wyoming conveyance. The deed also stops at the present. It does not extend to after acquired title unless words expressing that intention are added, so an interest the grantor picks up later stays with the grantor. That combination is why this instrument, often searched as a quit claim deed, appears so often in the record between people who already know each other: transfers between family members, conveyances carrying out a divorce settlement, consolidations of inherited fractional interests, and deeds recorded to clear a name or a cloud from title.

One grantor, one certificate, and a homestead release

The deed recites a single individual grantor conveying in that grantor's own right. Numbered sections collect the grantor, the grantee with the mailing address the county clerk requires before recording under Wyoming Statutes 34-1-119(a), the consideration, the county and the legal description copied from the vesting deed, the street address, the source of title, and optional special provisions, and the operative section then performs the conveyance with the statutory conveys and quitclaims words. The signature page carries the grantor's block and acknowledgment certificate in the Wyoming short form of Wyoming Statutes 32-3-115, and a second, conditional block for the grantor's spouse. Wyoming Statutes 34-2-121 makes an instrument conveying homestead property void unless the owner and the owner's spouse both sign and acknowledge it, and the deed carries the statutory homestead release in substance, so the same form serves a married grantor conveying the home place and an unmarried grantor conveying a bare lot, whose spouse block simply stays blank. The form is not set up as a two-grantor deed or an entity deed; it recites one individual grantor from start to finish.

Recording with the Wyoming county clerk

A Wyoming deed records with the county clerk of the county where the real estate is situated, and the statewide fee schedule of Wyoming Statutes 18-3-402(a)(xvi) sets the cost at twelve dollars for the first page and three dollars for each additional page. Wyoming collects no deed transfer tax or documentary stamps; the counter document that travels with every transfer instead is the sworn Statement of Consideration, the confidential Wyoming State Board of Equalization form that Wyoming Statutes 34-1-142(b) requires before the clerk accepts a transfer instrument for recording, with omission categories for gifts, corrections, and nominal family transfers. Recording also settles priority: Wyoming is a race-notice state, and under Wyoming Statutes 34-1-120 and 34-1-121 an unrecorded deed is void against a later good faith purchaser for value who records first, while a recorded deed is notice from the moment of delivery to the clerk.
