Nevada recording note. Record with the County Recorder of the county where the land lies. Nevada has 17 counties and no town recorder. File the current Declaration of Value with the deed; this packet does not include an official DOV blank. Ordinary acknowledged deeds need no witnesses. Community real property and a declared homestead generally require both spouses or registered domestic partners to sign. A Nevada quitclaim must not use “grant, bargain and sell” (NRS 111.170). The customary Nevada sale deed is a grant, bargain and sale deed, sold separately.

About this Nevada form

What Is a Nevada Quitclaim Deed?

A Nevada quitclaim deed is a legal document used to transfer whatever interest a person (the grantor) currently has in a piece of real estate to another person (the grantee) without providing any warranties or guarantees about the title. It simply says, "I am transferring whatever rights I hold in this property to you." If the grantor doesn't actually own the property, or if there are liens against it, the grantee receives the property with those issues and has no legal recourse against the grantor.

When to Use a Quitclaim Deed in Nevada

Quitclaim deeds are fast and straightforward, making them ideal for low-risk transfers where the parties know and trust each other. Common uses in Nevada include:

  • Transferring property between family members, such as a parent to a child.
  • Adding or removing a spouse from the property title after marriage or divorce. As a community property state, spousal consent or signatures may be required even if only one spouse is listed on the deed.
  • Moving real estate into a living trust or an LLC owned by the grantor.
  • Clearing up a "cloud" on the title, such as correcting a misspelled name on a previous deed.

Nevada Requirements for Quitclaim Deeds

  • Signing: The grantor must sign the deed.
  • Notarization: The grantor's signature must be acknowledged before a notary public.
  • Witnesses: Nevada does not require witnesses to sign the deed.
  • Recording: Record the deed at the County Recorder in the county (or town) where the property sits.
  • Transfer Tax / Recording Fees: County transfer tax (e.g., Clark County $2.55/$500). Recording fees apply.
  • Legal Description: A formal legal description must be included.

Quitclaim Deed vs Grant Deed in Nevada

The main difference between a quitclaim deed and a grant deed in Nevada is the level of protection for the buyer. A grant deed guarantees that the grantor actually owns the property free and clear of undisclosed liens, and holds them liable if title issues arise later. A quitclaim deed offers zero protection. For traditional real estate sales between strangers, a grant deed is normally used (though NV has specific local customs), while quitclaim deeds are reserved for trusted, non-sale transfers.

Frequently Asked Questions About Nevada Quitclaim Deed Forms

No, a quitclaim deed only transfers the ownership interest in the property. The original borrower remains financially responsible for the mortgage unless the lender agrees to a formal assumption or the loan is refinanced.

Yes, if the person being removed signs a quitclaim deed transferring their interest to the remaining owner.

While you can legally draft and file a quitclaim deed yourself, having an attorney review it ensures you meet all local requirements and don't inadvertently trigger tax or ownership issues.

Once signed and notarized, the transfer is legally effective between the parties. However, it becomes public record only after it is processed by the County Recorder, which can take a few days to a few weeks.

It is perfectly safe when used between family members or trusted parties. It is not recommended when buying property from a stranger, as it offers no protection against hidden liens or title defects.

Nevada is a community property state, meaning property acquired during the marriage is presumed to be owned equally by both spouses. Both spouses generally must sign any deed that transfers community real property, regardless of whose name is on the title. If the property is separate property (owned before marriage, inherited, or received as a gift by one spouse), only that spouse needs to sign, but the distinction should be clearly documented.

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.
