ALABAMA QUITCLAIM DEED.
Recording and return information: a house 3-inch Judge of Probate stamp band, plus return-to / prepared-by fields. That band is house chassis, not an Alabama margin statute.
Party information: grantor and grantee names, mailing addresses, marital status, vesting, and the prepared-by statement required by Ala. Code § 35-4-110.
Consideration: a replaceable consideration prompt (nominal $10 recital or the actual consideration) and a § 40-22-1 / Form RT-1 line for recordation tax and proof of price or value.
Page 2 continues: “conveys and quitclaims … without any warranty,” plus Exhibit A.
About this Alabama form
An Alabama quitclaim deed transfers whatever interest the grantor currently has in Alabama real estate, without making deed warranties. It is most often used for known-party transfers, family transfers, trust or entity transfers, divorce-related transfers, or title-clearing situations where the parties understand that no warranty protection is being given.
A quitclaim deed provides no deed warranties. For many ordinary buyer-seller transactions, an Alabama warranty deed is the more customary starting point. Alabama statutory warranty deed wording is a separate limited-covenant path based on “grant, bargain, sell” language.
Alabama deeds are recorded at the county level. Formatting rules, legal-description requirements, homestead facts, marital-status recitals, validation-form requirements, recordation tax, and county fees can affect recordability. Confirm current Judge of Probate recording details before relying on a completed deed.

Quitclaim deeds are commonly used for no-warranty transfers between known parties, including family transfers, divorce-related transfers, trust or entity transfers, and title-clearing. They are not usually the best fit for ordinary arm's-length sales because they provide no deed warranty.
Not automatically. Alabama deed recordation tax and a Real Estate Sales Validation Form or proof of value may apply even when no cash changes hands. Narrow statutory exemptions exist, but ordinary family or no-cash transfers should not be described as categorically tax-free.
Record the original notarized deed with the Judge of Probate in the Alabama county where the property is located.
If the property is a married person’s homestead, the spouse must voluntarily sign and assent on the same deed under Ala. Code § 6-10-3. A titled spouse signs as a Grantor. The labeled block is homestead assent only. Separate deeds are not enough.
No. A deed transfers title to real property. It does not release the borrower from an existing mortgage or change lender rights unless the lender separately agrees.
No. This is a PublicLegal-authored self-help deed form, not an Alabama probate judge, recorder, or government-issued form. Confirm current recording requirements before recording.
A quitclaim deed transfers whatever right, title, or interest the grantor may have in the property, if any. It does not include warranties about ownership or title condition, so the grantee accepts the title risk.
Quitclaim deeds are commonly used between parties who already know each other — for example certain family transfers, moving property into a trust, or adding or removing a name — where everyone understands there are no title warranties. They are often not the first choice for an arm's-length sale.
The packet includes the blank state-specific deed in editable Word format plus a separate completion instructions and checklist document. A completed sample PDF may be offered as an optional add-on.
Recording offices review formatting, execution requirements such as notarization, and any required supplemental forms or fees, which vary by county. The included instructions cover the general process; confirm your county's current requirements before you record.
