  2. Pay the recording fee (usually $10 for first page + $8–$10 per extra page)
  3. Include a return envelope for a copy of the recorded deed

⚠️ Important Considerations
  • A Quit Claim Deed does not guarantee that the grantor has a clear or valid title
  • Often not accepted for title insurance or real estate sales
