Quitclaim Deed in Minnesota

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.

What Minnesota law says

Signing and recording a deed	A deed must be legible, signed and acknowledged before a notary or other officer, and is recorded with the county recorder (or registrar of titles) in each county where the land lies. Deed tax is 0.33% of net consideration over $3,000 ($1.65 when there is no consideration or $3,000 or less). A certificate of real estate value is generally required for sales with consideration over $3,000, including by quitclaim deed. Source: Minn. Stat. §§ 507.24, 287.21, 272.115
Transfer-on-death deed	Yes. A transfer on death deed must meet the requirements of a Minnesota deed (signed and acknowledged) and must be recorded before the owner's death in a county where the property is located. It is revocable, cannot be revoked by a will, and does not require delivery to or consent of the beneficiary. A statutory form is provided. Source: Minn. Stat. § 507.071
