Alaska Commissioner's Quitclaim Deed
What is this form?
The Commissioner's Quitclaim Deed is a legal document used to transfer any ownership claims or interests in a property from the State of Alaska to another party. Unlike a warranty deed, which guarantees clear title, this quitclaim deed conveys only the grantor's interest, if any.
