Hot Springs County Quitclaim Deed Form

The Wyoming legislature printed a quitclaim deed with the blanks already in it. Wyoming Statutes 34-2-104 marks each opening with the words here insert: the grantor and place of residence, the consideration, the grantee, the description of the real estate, and the Wyoming county it sits in, held together by two operative words, conveys and quitclaims. This fillable Wyoming quitclaim deed is that skeleton built out for use, with the statutory elements in numbered sections and an operative section that performs the conveyance in the statutory words.

What the statute supplies, and what it leaves open

The form is offered, not imposed: conveyances of land may be substantially in the following form. Wyoming Statutes 34-2-105 measures what the two verbs move, every legal and equitable right the grantor holds when the deed is delivered, and no title picked up afterward unless the deed adds words extending it. Nothing is promised about the size of that interest, since Wyoming Statutes 34-1-135 implies no covenant into an ordinary conveyance, so an outstanding mortgage, a docketed judgment, an easement of record, and minerals severed generations back come through unaffected.

One or two people on each side, and no words put in their mouths

The party sections are open blanks. One grantor may convey to one grantee, one to two, two to one, or two to two, and the deed prints nothing about marital status, ownership form, or capacity, because those words belong to the parties. A name that changed since the vesting deed, an undivided share, or a spouse joining for the homestead release is described in the party blank itself. Two signature blocks close the deed, headed GRANTOR and SECOND GRANTOR, each with the printed name line Sweetwater County and Fremont County publish, and each followed by its own certificate in the short form of Wyoming Statutes 32-3-115, so the signers may appear before different notarial officers on different days, as the completed example does across two states. A single grantor leaves the second block and its certificate blank. Those four count patterns are what this deed recites; a conveyance signed for a company, a trust, or an owner acting through an attorney-in-fact turns on authority language this form does not print, and three or more owners on a side exceed its two blocks.

The line where survivorship is won or lost

Wyoming raises no right of survivorship from co-ownership alone, a point Choman v. Epperley and Oatts v. Jorgenson make plainly, so the words following the grantee names decide whether a surviving co-owner takes the whole or a share travels through an estate. Spouse wording runs the other way: under Wyoming Statutes 34-1-140(b), added in 2023 and treated as a clarification in Lewis v. Wolfe, 2026 WY 63, naming grantees as spouses establishes a tenancy by the entirety unless the deed specifies another form. The guide sets out each form Wyoming recognizes and the default that fills the gap.

A release printed on every copy

Wyoming Statutes 34-2-121 conditions a conveyance of homestead property on the release and waiver wording in substance plus the signature and acknowledgment of the owner and the owner's spouse, excepting a conveyance running directly between spouses. Missing either makes the conveyance void, and the exemption behind the rule follows occupancy under Wyoming Statutes 1-20-101 and 1-20-102 rather than the name on the vesting deed. The conveyance section carries that wording on every copy, and the second signature block is where a joining spouse signs.

Getting it on the record

Filing is with the county clerk where the land sits, at the statewide rate of Wyoming Statutes 18-3-402(a)(xvi): $12 for the first page, $3 for each page after, with small additions past five surnames or ten described tracts. No Wyoming transfer tax or documentary stamp attaches. The grantee's mailing address is a recording condition under Wyoming Statutes 34-1-119(a), and the sworn Statement of Consideration, a confidential State Board of Equalization form prepared apart from this package, is another under Wyoming Statutes 34-1-142(b). Recording fixes priority in this race-notice state, where an unrecorded quit claim deed loses to a later good faith purchaser who records first.

The download delivers three files: the blank fillable deed, laid out for the two inch first-page label band and the format standards Wyoming's largest county clerks publish; a completed example worked through an Albany County conveyance by two grantors; and a guide covering the eleven sections, vesting, homestead, notarization, and recording.
