Free Arkansas Quitclaim Deed

Use our Arkansas Quitclaim Deed to release your rights and ownership claims over property you’re selling or gifting.

Updated August 26, 2022 | Legally reviewed by Susan Chai, Esq.

An Arkansas (AR) Quitclaim Deed allows someone who owns a property (grantor) to transfer ownership of that property to someone else (grantee). The property transfer comes with no promises or guarantees about the property’s title or the grantor’s right to sell the property.

Sometimes people mistakenly call the quitclaim deed a “quick claim deed,” “quit claims deed,” or “quit claim deed.” These all refer to the same document.

If the grantor and grantee want a guarantee on the title, they need to use a warranty deed instead of a quitclaim deed in Arkansas.

Important Laws & Requirements

The following are important laws and requirements related to Arkansas quitclaim deeds:

Laws

Arkansas Code § 18-12-209, § 14-15-404, and § 18-12-104

Recording

According to Arkansas Code § 14-15-404, all quitclaim deeds in Arkansas must be submitted to the office of the County Recorder Circuit Clerk for filing. The office will charge a recording or filing fee. Choose the Circuit Clerk that oversees the county where the property is located.

Signing

Per Arkansas Code § 18-12-104, Arkansas quitclaim deeds require the grantor to sign in front of a notary public and two (2) disinterested witnesses with no claim in the transaction.

Taxes

The tax rate on real estate transfers in Arkansas is $3.30 per $1,000 of actual consideration on transactions that exceed $100.

The Department of Finance and Administration also requires you to file the Real Property Tax Affidavit of Compliance Form.

How to Write & File a Quitclaim Deed in Arkansas

Step 1 – Get the Arkansas Quitclaim Form

Download the Arkansas quitclaim deed form.

Step 2 – Enter Name and Address

Record the name and address of the person who prepares the form. Record the name and address of the person who wishes to receive the form after it has been recorded, typically the grantee. These go on the upper left-hand side of the form.

Step 3 – Fill in Property’s County

After “State of Arkansas,” record the property’s county.

Step 4 – Write Dollar Amount

After “Know All Men By These Presents,” write the dollar amount, in words, that the grantee is paying to the grantor for the property. Then, in parentheses, write the amount numerically.

Step 5 – Enter Grantor’s Full Name

Record the grantor’s full name. This goes in the blank after “in hand paid to.” After the name, write “grantor,” then write the grantor’s mailing address, county, city, and state.

Step 6 – Enter Grantee’s Full Name

Repeat this for the grantee, using the term “grantee” in the appropriate blank.

Step 7 – Write Legal Description

Write the legal description of the property. After “situated in,” write the property’s county. If you need to attach additional documentation, note the title of the documentation in the blanks where the legal description should be.

Step 8 – Get the Deed Notarized

Take the deed to a notary public, and arrange for two witnesses to come as well. The witnesses and the notary must all sign the document after watching the grantor sign. According to Arkansas Code § 18-12-104, the witnesses must be neutral parties with no vested interest in the transaction.

Step 9 – Record the Deed

Record the deed with the Circuit Clerk in the county where the property is located, and pay the transfer tax based on the price paid for the property.
