A Wyoming quitclaim deed is a written document that passes the ownership interest the grantor (the person giving up the property) holds to the grantee (the person receiving it).[1.1] It carries no implied warranty of title, in contrast to other property deed types, such as a general warranty deed or a special warranty deed, that give explicit guarantees about the title's clarity and history.[1.4] The grantee takes the property as it stands, with any title problems.

In practice, people often use quitclaim deeds to move property between family members. Common examples are adding a spouse to the title, moving real estate into a family trust, or finishing an informal agreement after a divorce. A quitclaim deed fits best when the parties trust each other, because the grantee takes the property with no promise about the title. For a plain gift of property, a gift deed is a related option.
A Wyoming quitclaim deed passes all the estate the grantor could lawfully convey, and nothing more. The deed must be acknowledged by the party executing it, the grantor, before any notarial officer.

Wyo. Stat. Ann. § 34-1-113 says a deed must be acknowledged by the party or parties executing it before any notarial officer.[1.2] Bring photo identification when you meet the notary, and wait to sign until the notary is with you.
Under Wyo. Stat. Ann. § 34-1-120, a conveyance of real estate that is not recorded as required by law is void as against a later buyer. That buyer must act in good faith, pay valuable consideration for the same property, and have the conveyance recorded first.[1.3]
After signing, take the notarized deed to the county clerk's office for the county where the property sits to have it recorded. Before you file, ask the clerk's office whether it wants a separate statement of consideration or any other paperwork with the deed.
A deed in the statutory form is sufficient to pass the grantor's estate. An equivalent instrument that makes the parties' transaction plain is not invalid for want of the statutory wording.[1.1] The FormsPal Wyoming quitclaim deed form names the grantor and the grantee and gives an address for each.

The deed passes the grantor's right, title and interest in the property described, and nothing more than the interest the grantor then holds.[1.1] No covenant of title is implied, and the deed does not extend to after acquired title unless it says so.[1.5] Recording it protects the grantee against a later good-faith buyer.[1.3]
