KANSAS WARRANTY DEED.
Recording and return information: a house 3-inch Register of Deeds stamp band, plus return-to / prepared-by fields. That band is house chassis, not a Kansas margin statute.
Party information: grantor and grantee names, mailing addresses, marital status, vesting, and the grantee mailing address required by K.S.A. 58-2221.
Consideration: a replaceable consideration prompt (nominal $10 recital or the actual consideration) and a K.S.A. 79-1437e exemption line so a truly exempt deed can skip the Sales Validation Questionnaire.
Page 2 continues: Kansas’s statutory short-form warranty — “conveys and warrants” under K.S.A. 58-2203 — plus Exhibit A.
About this Kansas form
A Kansas warranty deed transfers Kansas real estate with general warranty covenants. It is commonly used for ordinary sale, lender, title-insurance, and open-market transactions when the grantor intends to provide full deed-warranty protection.
A Kansas warranty deed uses “conveys and warrants” (K.S.A. 58-2203) and the statutory covenants of seisin, right to convey and quiet possession, freedom from encumbrances, and warrant and defend against all lawful claims. A quitclaim uses “conveys and quitclaims” and carries no covenants (K.S.A. 58-2204). Kansas does not have a separate statutory grant-deed category.
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.

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.
Kansas has no separate state deed transfer tax on consideration. Recording fees still apply, and most conveyances require a Real Estate Sales Validation Questionnaire or a stated statutory exemption.
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 warranty deed includes the grantor's warranty covenants — generally a promise that the grantor owns the property and will defend the title against claims, subject to any exceptions stated in the deed. It offers the grantee broader title protection than a quitclaim deed.
Warranty deeds are commonly used in arm's-length sales and other transfers where the grantee wants full title warranties from the grantor. Lenders and title insurers generally expect them for ordinary purchases.
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.
