Home Real Estate Documents Quitclaim Deed Kentucky

Free Kentucky Quitclaim Deed

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

Updated May 13, 2022 | Legally reviewed by Susan Chai, Esq.

A Kentucky (KY) quitclaim deed is a document that transfers interest in a piece of property from one person (the grantor) to another person (the grantee). It transfers ownership (e.g., between family members or in the case of a divorce) and stops previous owners (if applicable) from claiming interest on the property at a later date.

Unlike in a warranty deed, in a quitclaim deed, the seller does not provide a guarantee that the title is clear.

Quitclaim deeds are sometimes called “quit claims deeds,” “quick claims deeds,” or “quit claim deeds” in error.

Important Laws & Requirements

  • Law: KY Stat. § 382.135(1) & § 382.135(6)
  • Signing: Full names of the grantor and grantee and their mailing addresses. The grantor (or agent) and grantee (or agent) must sign a sworn consideration statement, and the signatures must be notarized.
  • Recording: (§ KRS 382.110) The document must be filed in the County Clerk’s office of the county where the property (or the greater part of the property) is located.
  • Consideration Statement: (§ KRS 385.135) A consideration certificate or statement must be attached to the quitclaim deed when recording at the County Clerk’s office.
  • Tenancy and Vesting: For residential property, the primary methods for holding title in co-ownership are tenancy in common, joint tenancy, and tenancy by entirety. A grant of real estate to two or more persons creates a tenancy in common, unless otherwise specified. Tenancy by entirety is available to married couples only § KRS 381.050(1). Kentucky law requires all recorded documents or documents affecting a change in property ownership to contain information on how the grantee will hold title (vesting).

How to Write & File a Quitclaim Deed in Kentucky

Step 1: Find your KY quitclaim form. Download it to complete on your computer or print it to be completed by hand.

Step 2: Gather the information you need. This includes the name and address of the form’s preparer and the address of the County Recorder where it will be filed.

Step 3: Enter the information about the parties. This includes the name and city of the grantor (seller) and the name of the grantee (buyer). Date the document in day/month/year format. Add the amount paid for the property.

Step 4: File the deed in the County Clerk’s office of the county where the property is located, along with the consideration certificate.
