An Oklahoma quitclaim deed is a written document in which the grantor passes whatever interest they hold in a piece of real estate to the grantee. Under Okla. Stat. tit. 16, § 18, it conveys the right, title and interest of its maker in the property described, and nothing more.[1.2] Download the free Oklahoma quit claim deed below as a PDF, Word or ODT file, or build it online.

People most often use a quitclaim deed between people who know and trust each other. Typical cases are a divorce or separation that splits property, a parent giving property to a child, and business partners sorting out who holds what. Because the deed passes on only the grantor's own interest, buyers often check the property records before they accept one. For other transfers, browse our printable deed form options.
The rules for a quitclaim deed in Oklahoma sit in Title 16 of the Oklahoma Statutes. An Oklahoma quitclaim deed conveys whatever right, title and interest the grantor holds in the property described, and nothing more.[1.2]
Three rules matter most when you prepare, sign and record the deed, and each is tied to its section:
A quitclaim deed made in substantial compliance with the statute passes on all of the grantor's right, title and interest in the property described. It conveys nothing more than the interest the grantor then holds.[1.2] The statute reads:
A quitclaim deed, made in substantial compliance with the provisions of this chapter, shall convey all the right, title and interest of the maker thereof in and to the premises therein described.
Oklahoma lets a quitclaim deed to real estate follow the form of a warranty deed, with two changes. The word "quitclaim" is added to the words of grant. The words "and warrant the title to the same" are left out.[1.3] The statute reads:
A quitclaim deed to real estate may be substantially the same as a warranty deed, with the word "quitclaim" inserted in connection with the words "do hereby grant, bargain, sell and convey," as follows: "do hereby quitclaim, grant, bargain, sell and convey," and by omitting the words, "and warrant the title to the same."
Page 2 of our form carries a quit claim without warranty paragraph and a subject-to paragraph, both printed text that you only read.
A deed or other instrument relating to real estate is valid against third persons only if it is acknowledged and recorded as Title 16 provides.[1.1] The statute reads:
No deed, mortgage, contract, bond, lease, or other instrument relating to real estate other than a lease for a period not exceeding one (1) year and accompanied by actual possession, shall be valid as against third persons unless acknowledged and recorded as herein provided.
Our form has a grantor signature block on page 4 and an acknowledgment block for a notary public on page 5. FormsPal also offers a free Oklahoma notary acknowledgment form.
Between the parties, the deed is valid without acknowledgment or recording. To be received for record, and to be valid against third persons, it must be acknowledged before a notary public or other authorized officer, such as the county clerk or the clerk of the district court, under that officer's seal (Okla. Stat. tit. 16, §§ 15, 26, 35).[1.4]
Recording is the other half of the same test, so a deed that is acknowledged but never recorded falls short of it.[1.1] People record the deed in the office of the county clerk of the county where the property is located, because an unrecorded deed is not valid against third persons (Okla. Stat. tit. 16, § 15).[1.5] They ask that office what it needs before they go.
The Oklahoma quitclaim deed form on this page follows a fixed order. Page 1 holds the header blocks, the date, the consideration, the parties and the property. Signing comes on pages 4 and 5. Get the file from our free printable quitclaim deed form builder or the download links above.
Once the deed is signed and acknowledged, record it, because a deed is valid against third persons only if it is acknowledged and recorded.[1.1] The After Recording Return To block on page 1 shows where the recorded copy goes back.

A property transfer often sits next to other personal paperwork. FormsPal also has an Oklahoma last will and an Oklahoma power of attorney form.
This answer comes straight from Title 16 of the Oklahoma Statutes, which is cited at the end of the page. It covers what an Oklahoma quitclaim deed passes on and what it leaves behind.
Yes. A quitclaim deed made in substantial compliance with Title 16 conveys all the right, title and interest of its maker in the property described. It conveys nothing more than the interest the grantor then holds, so the grantee receives only what the grantor holds.[1.2]
