Quitclaim deeds are statutory forms for conveying real property in the Commonwealth of Virginia. When a deed includes specific words of release, the grantor relinquishes all right, title and interest and any future claim, challenge, or demand on the land (Va. Code 55.1-363).
Quitclaim deeds carry no warranty of title, and merely transfer whatever interest, if any, the grantor has in the property at the time of conveyance. For this reason, they provide the least amount of surety to the buyer/grantee and are typically reserved for situations where the two parties are familiar, such as adding or removing a name from the title, or in cases of divorce.
To transfer title, a deed requires each grantor's and grantee's name, marital status, and address, and the grantee's manner of vesting title. In addition, the deed recites the consideration the grantee is paying for the transfer of title. A state recordation tax applies unless a valid exemption is noted on the face of the deed. To properly identify the parcel changing ownership, a deed includes the full legal description of the property and notes the derivation of the grantor's title and any restrictions on the property.
Every (i) contract in writing; (ii) deed conveying any estate or term; (iii) deed of gift, or deed of trust, or mortgage conveying real estate or personal property; and (iv) bill of sale, or contract for the sale of personal property, when the possession is allowed to remain with the grantor, shall be void as to all purchasers for valuable consideration without notice not parties thereto and lien creditors, until and except from the time it is recorded in the county or city in which the property subject to such contract, deed, or bill of sale is located. The fact that any such instrument is in the form of or contains the terms of a quit-claim or release shall not prevent the grantee from being a purchaser for valuable consideration without notice, nor be of itself notice to such grantee of any unrecorded conveyance of or encumbrance upon such real estate or personal property. The mere possession of real estate shall not, of itself, be notice to purchasers for value of any interest or estate therein of the person in possession. (55.1-407).
Deeds affecting title to real estate in the Commonwealth of Virginia should comply with the standards for recorded instruments established by the Library of Virginia, with the exception that certain independent cities and counties require a larger bottom, last-page margin. Some recording offices require a Virginia Land Records cover sheet. Counties that do not require a cover sheet must comply with first-page document requirements established at Va. Code 17.1-223.

Forms used, created quitclaim deed that the county accepted without a second look (turns out they see deeds.com forms regularly via erecording and in person). Will be back for any real estate related forms I need and they carry. Will always be my first stop. Also, will use erecording next time, mad I didn't see it this time.
Thanks for the kind words James, glad we could help. Look forward to seeing you again.

Wasn’t what I expected
Sorry to hear that your expectations were missed. Your order has been canceled. We do hope that you find something more suitable to your expectations elsewhere. Do keep in mind that purchasing legal forms should not be an exploratory endeavor.

Would be nice to have a better description on how to complete the forms if it is separated couple and one is signing the deed over to the other. I am still unsure how it should be worded. Disappointed that the guide didn't have better explanations.
Thank you for your feedback. We really appreciate it. Have a great day!

The process went smoothly and gave me what I needed. As an improvement, I would recommend that deeds.com sends an email when there is a new message in the portal. I didn't get any updates and had to log in to track progress each time.
Thank you for your feedback. We really appreciate it. Have a great day!

The documents themselves are fine and the information provided with them is helpful. I find the actual processing of the documents, however, to be difficult particularly once the document has been saved. First, I note that the box for the date only allows entry of the last 2 digits of the year. Unfortunately, my download only allows me to enter one of the 2 digits required. When I delete it repeatedly, it eventually allows both digits to be entered but puts them in extremely small text and in superscrypt. I have not found a solution to this problem and am not sure the deed can even be recorded with this problem.
Another problem is that if you try to revise the document after you have saved it the curser goes to the end of the line after each key entry. This means that there basically is no way to efficiently save the document for reworking later since you will have to delete everything you have entered in the text box unless you only need to make a single keystroke change or are willing to replace the curser after each entry. Try that with a long property description!
Please note that I am using a Mac to prepare my documents and perhaps this is part of an "incompatibility problem". However, I didn't see a disclaimer regarding Mac use and so would expect the documents to perform correctly. Overall, I give the program a "2 star" rating because I am experiencing significant difficulties in entering dates in the documents even before saving them and because saving your work for later revision appears to be basically unworkable.
Thank you for your feedback Thomas, we appreciate you being specific about the issues you encountered. Adobe and Mac have a fairly long history of issues working together.

This was the easiest, quickest, most understandable way I've seen yet to retrieve deeds from various counties.
The government websites are "clunky" and each one seems different than the other.
I like this service and will use them again in the future.
