About this Kansas form

What Is a Kansas Quitclaim Deed?

A Kansas quitclaim deed transfers whatever interest the grantor currently has in Kansas real estate, without making deed warranties. It is most often used for known-party transfers, family transfers, trust funding, divorce or title-clearing situations, and other transactions where the parties understand that no warranty protection is being given.

When to Use a Quitclaim Deed in Kansas

  • Transferring property between family members or former spouses when no deed warranty is intended.
  • Moving personally owned real estate into or out of a trust or closely held entity, when appropriate.
  • Clearing a minor title issue when a quitclaim deed is the correct curative instrument.
  • Using a no-warranty deed where the parties know and accept the title-risk allocation.

Kansas Requirements for Quitclaim Deeds

  • Signing: The grantor signs the deed. If the property is a married owner’s homestead, both spouses must consent on the same deed under Kan. Const. art. 15 § 9. Separate deeds are not enough.
  • Notarization: The grantor's signature must be acknowledged before a notarial officer before recording.
  • Witnesses: Kansas does not require witnesses for an ordinary notarized deed.
  • Recording: Record the deed with the county Register of Deeds where the property is located.
  • Sales Validation Questionnaire: A Kansas register of deeds may not record a deed unless a completed official Real Estate Sales Validation Questionnaire accompanies it, or a K.S.A. 79-1437e exemption is clearly stated on the deed. This packet includes the official one-part form (PV-RE-22-OP) for PVD-approved counties.
  • Grantee Address: Kansas deeds should include the grantee's mailing address.
  • Transfer Tax / Recording Fees: Kansas has no separate state deed transfer tax on consideration, but statewide recording fees and validation-questionnaire requirements still apply.
  • Legal Description: Use the complete legal description from a prior deed, title commitment, survey, or other reliable title source. A street address or tax parcel number alone is usually not enough.

Quitclaim Deed vs Other Kansas Deeds

A quitclaim deed provides no deed warranties. For many ordinary buyer-seller transactions, a Kansas warranty deed is the more customary starting point. Kansas does not have a separate statutory grant-deed category. Use a quitclaim deed only when the no-warranty nature of the transfer fits the transaction.

Kansas Recording Notes

Kansas deeds are recorded at the county level. Formatting rules, legal-description requirements, homestead facts, validation-questionnaire exemptions, grantee-address details, and current recording fees can affect recordability. Confirm current Register of Deeds requirements before relying on a completed deed.

Frequently Asked Questions About Kansas Quitclaim Deed Forms

No. A Kansas quitclaim deed transfers only whatever interest the grantor has, if any, without deed warranties.

No. Ordinary Kansas deeds require notarized acknowledgment, not deed witnesses.

The register shall not record without a completed official Sales Validation Questionnaire unless a K.S.A. 79-1437e exemption is clearly stated on the deed. This packet includes the official one-part form for PVD-approved counties. Seven counties still use a multi-part form — get that form from the destination Register if needed.

No broad family-transfer exemption should be assumed. Kansas has no separate state deed transfer tax on consideration, but most conveyances still require a Real Estate Sales Validation Questionnaire unless a specific statutory exemption applies and is stated properly.

If the property is a married owner’s homestead, both spouses must consent on the same deed under Kan. Const. art. 15 § 9. A titled spouse signs as a Grantor. The labeled block is homestead consent only. Separate deeds are not enough.

No. This is a PublicLegal-authored self-help deed form, not a Kansas Judiciary, Register of Deeds, or government-issued form. Confirm current recording requirements before recording.

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.

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.
