About this Missouri form
A Missouri quitclaim deed transfers whatever right, title, or interest the grantor has in Missouri real estate at delivery, without deed warranties. It does not pass after-acquired title and is commonly used for known-party transfers where no warranty protection is intended.
A Missouri quitclaim deed provides no deed warranties and does not pass after-acquired title. For many ordinary buyer-seller transactions, a Missouri warranty deed is the more customary starting point. Missouri also has a valid statutory grant deed category, but that deed carries limited covenants and is not a no-warranty quitclaim deed.

No. A Missouri quitclaim deed conveys whatever right, title, or interest the grantor has at delivery, without deed warranties. It does not guarantee good title and does not pass after-acquired title.
No. Missouri quitclaim treatment comes from common law rather than a single quitclaim statute. Do not treat section 442.440 as the quitclaim-deed rule.
No. Missouri ordinary deeds require acknowledgment or proof, but not witnesses.
If the property is a married person's homestead, both spouses generally must join a deed, mortgage, or other encumbrance.
PublicLegal provides this self-help deed form template for customers to complete with their own transaction information. For transaction-specific legal, title, or recording guidance, consult an attorney, title company, or the local recording office. Recording offices and state agencies may require separate supplemental forms, taxes, fees, or cover sheets.
No. A deed transfers title to real property. It does not release a borrower from an existing mortgage or deed of trust, remove liens, or replace lender consent, payoff, refinance, or assumption requirements.
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.
