Alaska Quitclaim Deed from Individual to Individual
What is this form?
The Quitclaim Deed from Individual to Individual is a legal document that allows one individual (the Grantor) to transfer their interest in specific property to another individual (the Grantee). Unlike other types of deeds, a quitclaim deed does not guarantee the title's validity; it simply conveys whatever interest the Grantor may have in the property, if any. This form is particularly useful in situations where the parties have a relationship of trust, such as family transfers, or when the history of the property title is unclear.
What’s included in this form
- Identification of the Grantor and Grantee, including marital status.
- Description of the property being transferred, including any legal description.
- Statement of the consideration for the transfer, typically a nominal amount.
- Execution section, where the Grantor signs the deed.

FAQ
Alaska quit claim deeds must be submitted to the recording district that is local to the property. They must also be accompanied by the applicable recording fee set by regulation; if the document is to be recorded for multiple purposes, it must be accompanied by the applicable fee for each of the multiple purposes.
The drawback, quite simply, is that quitclaim deeds offer the grantee/recipient no protection or guarantees whatsoever about the property or their ownership of it. Maybe the grantor did not own the property at all, or maybe they only had partial ownership.
Quitclaim deeds are most often used to transfer property between family members. Examples include when an owner gets married and wants to add a spouse's name to the title or deed, or when the owners get divorced and one spouse's name is removed from the title or deed.
Once you sign a quitclaim deed and it has been filed and recorded with the County Clerks Office, the title has been officially transferred and cannot be easily reversed. In order to reverse this type of transfer, it would require your spouse to cooperate and assist in adding your name back to the title.
The only way to forcibly change the ownership status is through a legal action and the resultant court order. However, if an owner chooses to be removed from the deed, it is simply a matter of preparing a new deed transferring that owner's interest in the property.
Fill out the quit claim deed form, which can be obtained online, or write your own using the form as a guide. The person giving up the interest in the property is the grantor, and the person receiving the interest is the grantee.
But you might be wondering if an owner can transfer a deed to another person without a real estate lawyer. The answer is yes. Parties to a transaction are always free to prepare their own deeds.A quitclaim deed, for example, is far simpler than a warranty deed.
Yes, you can use a Quitclaim Deed to transfer a gift of property to someone. You must still include consideration when filing your Quitclaim Deed with the County Recorder's Office to show that title has been transferred, so you would use $10.00 as the consideration for the property.
A person who signs a quitclaim deed to transfer property they do not own results in no title at all being transferred since there is no actual ownership interest. The quitclaim deed only transfers the type of title you own.
