An Arizona quitclaim deed is a written document that passes the grantor's interest in real property to another person. It conveys only the interest the grantor holds, so the grantee gets nothing more. The Arizona statute gives a sample deed form, and a deed that follows it is sufficient.[2] Download the free Arizona quitclaim deed PDF below, or fill it out online.

This section explains three points that matter for an Arizona quitclaim deed: what the deed passes, how it is signed and acknowledged, and why it is recorded. Each rule comes from the Arizona Revised Statutes and is cited in the Sources list. For the general idea behind this type of deed, see our guide to quitclaim deeds.
Section 33-402 of the Ariz. Rev. Stat. gives the wording of a quitclaim deed. The deed passes all of the grantor's interest in the property it describes, unless the deed itself limits the grant. It conveys nothing more than the interest the grantor holds at that time.[2]
I hereby quit claim to A.B. all my interest in the following real property (describing it).
The same section says the sample forms in the statute, or other equivalent forms varied to suit circumstances, are sufficient. A deed may therefore vary the sample wording to fit the transaction.[2]
Section 33-401 says every deed or conveyance of real property must be signed by the grantor. It must also be duly acknowledged before an officer authorized to take acknowledgments.[1] An acknowledgment is the step where the signer confirms the signature before that officer. Under Section 33-511, a notary public is one of the officers before whom the acknowledgment may be made, along with judges, court clerks, recorders and justices of the peace.[4]
Every deed or conveyance of real property must be signed by the grantor and must be duly acknowledged before some officer authorized to take acknowledgments as prescribed in title 41, chapter 2, article 1.
The form on this page has a signature block on page 4 and an acknowledgment block for a notary on page 5.
Section 33-411(A) deals with notice to later buyers and lenders. Its words are quoted below.[3]
No instrument affecting real property gives notice of its contents to subsequent purchasers or encumbrance holders for valuable consideration without notice, unless recorded as provided by law in the office of the county recorder of the county in which the property is located.
In plain words, an unrecorded deed does not warn later buyers or holders of a lien about itself. That is why people record the signed and acknowledged deed in the county recorder's office of the county where the property is located.
The county recorder charges a recording fee set by Section 11-475 of the Ariz. Rev. Stat., so pay that fee when you record the deed.[5]
In practice, people use a quitclaim deed to move property between people who already know each other. Common examples include:
A quitclaim deed passes only the interest the grantor holds.[2] In general terms, other deeds differ in the promises the grantor makes about the title:
The Arizona quitclaim deed form follows a fixed order. You fill in the header blocks, the date, the grantor, the grantee and the property on pages 1 and 2. Then the grantor signs on page 4, and the signature is acknowledged on page 5. Download the PDF and fill it in on screen with our PDF editor, or print it and write by hand.
Keep a copy of the signed deed. Then take the original to the county recorder's office of the county where the property is located, as the recording section above explains.[3]
These short answers cover the questions people ask most about an Arizona quitclaim deed. Each answer comes from the Arizona Revised Statutes and points to the source below. For the steps on the form itself, see the how-to section above.
A quitclaim deed is one of several deed forms for transferring real property. It passes whatever interest the grantor has in the property described, and the grantee gets that interest and nothing more.[2]
It gives the grantee all of the grantor's interest in the property described, unless the deed itself limits the grant. It conveys nothing more than the interest the grantor holds at that time.[2]
Three Arizona statutes shape how a quitclaim deed works:
A quitclaim deed passes the grantor's interest in real property, whatever that interest is.[2] People often use one between relatives, former spouses or co-owners, as the examples above show. Because it adds nothing to what the grantor holds, many people check the property's title records first.
