Uinta County Quitclaim Deed (Trustee Grantor) Form

A Wyoming trust holds land, and signs nothing. The signature comes from a trustee, and the Wyoming Quitclaim Deed (Trustee Grantor) is the fill-in-the-blank deed built for that side: the trustee or trustees of a named trust convey and quitclaim the trust's interest in Wyoming real estate to the grantee named in the deed, signing in a representative capacity and not personally.

A grantor line the record has to recognize

Wyoming Statutes 34-2-122 asks the deed that carried title into a trust to define that trust, by the names of the trustees with the name and date of the trust, or by pointing to a writing already of public record carrying those facts. That shapes the deed carrying title back out, since a later examiner reads its grantor line against the vesting deed. So the form prints the trust name and date in Section 1, the trustees in Section 2, and in Section 9 the recorded instrument by which the trust took title. Where a certification of trust is recorded, a second blank in Section 3 takes its document number.

Where the power to sign comes from

A deed out of a trust rests on authority the deed does not create. Section 3 takes the article or section of the trust instrument carrying the power to sell or convey trust real property, alongside the statutory powers of Wyoming Statutes 4-10-816, cited in its own subsection (b) as the Uniform Trustee Powers Act, which lists the power to sell trust property and to sign instruments useful to exercising it. Where more than one trustee serves, Wyoming Statutes 4-10-703(a) lets cotrustees unable to reach a unanimous decision act by majority decision. The certification or affidavit of trust that Wyoming Statutes 4-10-1014 describes, which any trustee signs, is prepared separately and not included here.

The measure of what passes

The operative section performs the conveyance with the two verbs of the statutory form of Wyoming Statutes 34-2-104, conveys and quitclaims, and Wyoming Statutes 34-2-105 fixes the reach: rights held at delivery, nothing gained afterward unless the deed adds wording reaching it. Nothing about the title is promised, and Wyoming Statutes 34-1-135 implies no covenant, so a mortgage, a judgment lien, an easement, and a severed mineral estate pass through intact.

Two trustee signatures, two certificates, and no spouse line

Section 12 carries two trustee signature blocks, each with a printed name line, and a certificate in the short form of Wyoming Statutes 32-3-115 follows each, so one trustee may acknowledge in one county and a cotrustee in another eleven days later, as the example does. A trust with a single trustee leaves the second block and its certificate blank. The homestead treatment is worth naming: the operative clause prints the release and waiver wording Wyoming Statutes 34-2-121 calls for in substance, while the signature lines belong to the trustees, because the owner the record shows is a trustee in a representative capacity, and no reported Wyoming decision applying that section to trust held property was located. Section 5 then takes the ownership form the grantees will hold, since Wyoming presumes no survivorship from co-ownership alone. A trust distributing a residence to the settlors' children, and a successor trustee closing a sale after the settlor's death, present the pattern this deed recites, searched as a trustee quit claim deed or a deed out of a trust. The form is not set up for an owner conveying in that owner's own right, for a company or a personal representative as the grantor, or for a designation operating at death.

Filing it with the county clerk

The deed is recorded where the land lies, priced by the statewide schedule of Wyoming Statutes 18-3-402(a)(xvi) at $12 for a first page and $3 per page after, with surcharges past five surnames or ten tracts. No Wyoming transfer tax or documentary stamp attaches. Two items travel with it: the grantee mailing address Wyoming Statutes 34-1-119(a) makes a condition of recording, and the sworn Statement of Consideration on the Wyoming State Board of Equalization form, prepared separately from this package, which Wyoming Statutes 34-1-142(b) makes a condition of acceptance.

The package delivers the blank fillable deed drawn to the two inch first page label band Wyoming counties publish, a completed example filled in for a Sweetwater County conveyance out of a family trust, and a guide covering each numbered section, the trust identification, trustee authority, the homestead analysis, notarization, and recording. The materials are informational and are not legal advice.
