About this Connecticut form
A Connecticut quitclaim deed transfers the grantor's interest in Connecticut real estate with quitclaim covenants, without the warranty covenants used in a Connecticut warranty deed. It is commonly used for known-party, family, trust, divorce-related, entity, or title-clearing transfers when warranty protection is not being provided.
A Connecticut quitclaim deed does not provide the same warranty protection as a Connecticut warranty deed. A warranty deed uses Connecticut warranty covenants; a quitclaim deed is better suited to known-party or title-clearing transfers when the parties accept that no warranty-deed protection is being given.
PublicLegal-authored self-help deed form. Provided for customers to complete with their own transaction information and submit to the proper local recording office.

This is a PublicLegal-authored self-help deed form template for customers to complete with their own transaction information. It is not an official Connecticut Judiciary, Secretary of the State, or Town Clerk form.
For Connecticut signing, the deed should be acknowledged and attested by two witnesses. The acknowledging officer, such as a notary, may be one of the two witnesses.
Record with the Town Clerk of the Connecticut town or city where the property is located. Connecticut does not use county recorders for land records.
Often yes, depending on the transaction and exemptions. Connecticut has graduated state conveyance tax rates and a municipal conveyance tax. Confirm the current rate, exemptions, OP-236, and myCTREC requirements with the Town Clerk, Connecticut attorney, title company, or tax professional.
Do not use remote online notarization for a Connecticut real-estate closing or deed execution unless a Connecticut attorney confirms otherwise. In-person acknowledgment is the cautious recording path.
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.
It depends on your goals and how much title protection the grantee needs. Compare the deed types available for Connecticut before choosing, and consult a professional for advice on your situation.
