How to Do a Quitclaim Deed in Arizona
Every state requires land transfers to be sealed by a written deed. State property law varies on the exact wording in the deed. In the Arizona Revised Statutes, Chapter 33, Section 402, the language to execute a quitclaim deed is very short and simple. Persons wishing to transfer title by quitclaim deed in Arizona can follow the quitclaim deed example found in this statute. Because quitclaim deeds contain no promises or warranties as to the title itself, they are usually only used between parties who know each and the property very well.

Tips & Warnings
You can obtain blank deed forms at property records offices. Fill out the blank deed form by writing in the information asked for (typically the name and address of the parties, the amount given for the transfer and the description of the property). To avoid fraud, consider signing the deed in the presence of a notary public and having the deed notarized.
