A Pennsylvania quitclaim deed is a document that transfers whatever interest the giver has in a property to the recipient. Family members and other people who know each other often use it to move a property between them. In the deed, the giver is called the grantor and the recipient is called the grantee.
If you want to be a part of the estate transfer deal in Pennsylvania, you should meet specific requirements established by the Pennsylvania state. You may be required to sign the Pennsylvania Quitclaim Deed condition, among other forms. Information on the requirements for completing the Pennsylvania Quitclaim Deed Form is found in the Pennsylvania Code and the Purdon’s Pennsylvania Statutes and Consolidated Statutes (specifically in Chapter 21).
According to these Pennsylvania Statutes, you need to fulfill these requirements to make the estate transfer deal possible:
A notary public has to verify the legitimacy of the completed form by attaching a notary seal to it.
Givers and recipients have to record the completed deed form at the nearest Recorder’s Office, which exists in every County.
As stated in Title 21 P.S. §7 of the Pennsylvania Code, the phrase “release and quitclaim” must be presented in the form.
As stated in the Pennsylvania Code, the filing fee and a 1% to 2% transfer tax (depending on the selling price) must be paid. Typically, the giver and the recipient pay the transfer tax equally. It is also mandatory to fill the Realty Transfer Tax Statement (Form REV-183 EX).
After paying the transfer tax, a Realty Transfer Tax Statement (UPI) Stamp should be placed on your form to complete the estate transfer registration process. Without it, your completed form would be legally invalid.
Use our form builder to create this quitclaim deed in a few minutes. If you would rather fill in the form yourself, follow the steps below and keep the names and addresses of both parties, plus the property details, at hand.
Give Primary Information
Start the form in our builder, then work through each part in order. Write your full name and full address, including zip code, state, and street.
Then, fill in the same details of the person receiving the form after completion. This person must be from the Pennsylvania Recorder of Deeds. Register their full address and full legal name.
Provide the Basic Details
Write down the county where the property is located. Then enter the giver’s name and full address, including the county, city, and state.
Next, enter the recipient’s full name, full address, and the amount they pay for the property.
Copy the legal description of the property from the State Records. Add the property’s current address, including the county where it is located and the county tax parcel number.
Then enter the name of the previous owner and the date they transferred the property to the present owner (the giver). This is the Previous Deed Transfer Date. Add the date the transfer was recorded (Previous Deed Recording Date) and the registration number from the County Recorder of Deeds Office.
Provide the Givers’ Signatures
Both givers (if there are two of them) have to sign the completed form and register their full names and full addresses, including states, cities, and zip codes. One of them should also record the county where the estate transfer process is taking place.
Provide a Notary’s Signature
Finishing the estate transfer process is impossible without certification by a notary public. A notary has to sign the completed form and verify it with a notary seal. They must also register the certification date and the commission expiration date.
Contact a Supervising Body
Once you complete the form and receive all the signatures, you have to transfer it to the Pennsylvania Recorder of Deeds acting as the supervising body recording such forms. There, pay the filing fee and transfer tax.
Have the full names and addresses of the giver and the recipient, the property address, the county and the tax parcel number ready. Your current deed usually shows the legal description of the property and the details of the previous transfer.
