An Oklahoma quitclaim deed is a deed that passes only the grantor's own interest in a piece of real estate to the grantee, with no promise about the title. The grantor is the person who gives up the interest. The grantee is the person who receives it.
The deed conveys all the right, title and interest of its maker in the premises described, when it is made in substantial compliance with Title 16 (Okla. Stat. tit. 16, § 18).[1.2] If the grantor holds no interest, the grantee receives none, because the deed passes only what its maker holds. 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.
A quitclaim deed suits transfers 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. A buyer paying full price for a home usually asks for a deed with a warranty instead, and checks the property records before accepting a quitclaim deed.

An Oklahoma quitclaim deed differs from a warranty deed in its words of grant: it may follow the warranty deed form, with "quitclaim" inserted and the warranty words omitted (Okla. Stat. tit. 16, § 41).[1.3] The granting words read "do hereby quitclaim, grant, bargain, sell and convey". The words "and warrant the title to the same" are left out. 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."
The blank Oklahoma quitclaim deed form holds five pages in a fixed order: the header blocks, date, consideration, parties and property on page 1, the printed paragraphs on page 2, a blank page 3, signatures on page 4 and the acknowledgment on page 5.
The form names the grantor and the grantee, each with an address. It has room for a second grantor. The consideration line records what the grantee gives for the property: the form offers one box for an amount in words and figures and one box for a gift.
The form identifies the property by county, state, tax parcel number and Parcel Id. The legal description is the exact description of the land from the earlier deed, and the form points to it on Exhibit A. The form has no Exhibit A page, so attach your own.
Page 2 of our form carries a quit claim without warranty paragraph and a subject-to paragraph, both printed text that you only read.
Our form has a grantor signature block on page 4 and an acknowledgment block for a notary public on page 5. The form shows two Witness lines under each signature block. FormsPal also offers a free Oklahoma notary acknowledgment form.
A completed Oklahoma quitclaim deed shows every blank filled in the form's own order, from the Prepared By block on page 1 to the notary's part on page 5. The sample below uses invented names, numbers and places to show what each answer looks like.

The example leaves the Recorder's Use space empty. Its Exhibit A carries the same lot and block wording as the grantor's earlier deed, word for word. The screenshots in the steps below show these entries in blue on the actual pages.
The screenshots under each step show the FormsPal Oklahoma quitclaim deed template filled with sample entries in blue, so you can see where each answer goes. The names, addresses, dates and amounts are examples only.
The Oklahoma quitclaim deed form takes ten entries, page by page, and a do it yourself deed follows the same order. Have the earlier deed at hand for the names and the legal description.
An Oklahoma quitclaim deed is signed by the grantor and then acknowledged before an officer who places a seal on the acknowledgment. The acknowledgment is the officer's certificate on page 5 about that signing.
The acknowledgment, when taken in Oklahoma, may be taken before any notary public, county clerk, clerk of the district court, clerk of the county court or county judge, and it must be under the seal of that officer (Okla. Stat. tit. 16, § 35).[1.5]
The deed can be received for record only when it is executed and acknowledged in substantial compliance with Title 16 (Okla. Stat. tit. 16, § 26).[1.4] A deed signed but never acknowledged therefore stops short of recording.
An Oklahoma quitclaim deed binds third persons only once it is acknowledged and recorded; between the grantor and the grantee it is valid without either step.
Except as Title 16 provides, no acknowledgment or recording is necessary to the validity of a deed relating to real estate as between the parties (Okla. Stat. tit. 16, § 15).[1.1] The same section makes a deed valid against third persons only if it is acknowledged and recorded (Okla. Stat. tit. 16, § 15).[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.
A property transfer often sits next to other personal paperwork. FormsPal also has an Oklahoma last will and an Oklahoma power of attorney form. Questions about your own situation belong with an Oklahoma attorney.
A DIY quitclaim deed is one the grantor fills out without a lawyer, and under Okla. Stat. tit. 16, § 41 it may be substantially the same as a warranty deed, with "quitclaim" inserted in the words of grant and the words "and warrant the title to the same" left out.[1.3] The deed still goes through acknowledgment and recording like any other.
No. A quitclaim deed leaves out the words "and warrant the title to the same" (Okla. Stat. tit. 16, § 41) and conveys the right, title and interest of its maker in the premises (Okla. Stat. tit. 16, § 18).[1.2] The grantee receives only what the grantor holds.
Between the parties, yes, except as Title 16 provides otherwise: an unrecorded deed is valid as between the grantor and the grantee but not against third persons unless acknowledged and recorded (Okla. Stat. tit. 16, § 15).[1.1]
When the acknowledgment is taken in Oklahoma, a notary public, county clerk, clerk of the district court, clerk of the county court or county judge may take it, under that officer's seal (Okla. Stat. tit. 16, § 35).[1.5]
The example section above lists a sample entry for every field of the Oklahoma form, and the screenshot under each fill-out step shows that entry in blue on the page itself. Both use invented names and numbers.
No. The deed conveys the right, title and interest of its maker in the premises described, and nothing beyond what the maker holds (Okla. Stat. tit. 16, § 18).[1.2]
