Quitclaim Deed in North Dakota
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 North Dakota law says
| Signing and recording a deed | A deed must be in writing and subscribed by the grantor or the grantor's authorized agent. To be recorded, an individual's signature must be acknowledged before a notary or other authorized officer (or proved by a subscribing witness), with original signatures. The deed must show the post-office address (and street address within a city) of each grantee, and a deed with a metes-and-bounds description must name who drafted the legal description. The recorder will not record the deed without the county auditor's certificate of transfer, and the grantee must certify on the deed a statement of the full consideration paid or a listed exemption. Deeds are recorded with the county recorder where the land is located. A quitclaim deed is a valid conveyance. Deed formalities are in chapter 47-10 (https://ndlegis.gov/cencode/t47c10.pdf); the auditor's certificate and consideration statement are in chapter 11-18 (https://ndlegis.gov/cencode/t11c18.pdf). |
|---|---|
| Transfer-on-death deed | Yes. Under the Uniform Real Property Transfer on Death Act, an individual with the capacity to make a will may transfer real property to beneficiaries effective at death. The deed must have the elements and formalities of a recordable deed, state that the transfer occurs at the owner's death, use the phrase "transfer on death deed" or "TOD" in its title, and be recorded before the owner's death with the county recorder where the property is located. It is revocable, and notice, delivery, acceptance or consideration is not required. An auditor's certificate of transfer and a statement of full consideration are not required to record it. |
