Quitclaim Deed in Arkansas

A quitclaim deed transfers whatever interest you have in real estate, with no promise that the title is good. Before you record it, check your state's signing rules below and your county recorder's formatting rules (margins, paper size, preparer and return-address blocks, transfer-tax forms) — recorders reject deeds that miss them.

Transfer-on-death deed	Yes, Arkansas allows a beneficiary deed. The owner signs a deed naming one or more grantees to receive the property at death; it must be recorded with the county recorder where the property is located before the owner dies (for co-owners, it takes effect at the last owner's death). No consideration is needed and the beneficiary gets no interest until death. The owner can revoke it by a recorded revocation before death, but not by a will. The beneficiary takes subject to existing mortgages, liens and leases. The statute includes a model form.
