Questions About Seattle Quit Claim Deeds
A Seattle Quit Claim Deed is a legal document used to transfer ownership of real property within the City of Seattle—without guaranteeing clear title. In Seattle, Quit Claim Deeds are commonly used for transfers between family members, adding or removing a spouse, transferring real estate into a trust or LLC, resolving title issues, or updating ownership after marriage, divorce, or inheritance. They are generally not used for traditional real estate sales involving warranties.
The Seattle Quit Claim Deed process involves determining eligibility for a Quit Claim Deed, drafting a legally compliant deed that meets Washington State and King County recording standards, completing proper signing and notarization, and submitting the document for recording with the King County Recorder’s Office. Once recorded, the county indexes the deed and updates the public ownership record.
Yes, you can file a Quit Claim Deed yourself, but mistakes in formatting, legal language, property descriptions, margin rules, or missing supplemental forms often result in county rejection. Many Seattle property owners choose attorney-prepared deeds to avoid delays and ensure the transfer is recorded correctly the first time.
To prepare a Quit Claim Deed in Seattle, you typically need:
The full legal name of the Grantor(s) and Grantee(s)
The complete legal description of the Seattle property
The parcel number (King County Tax ID)
How the new ownership will be held (e.g., joint tenants, tenants in common, community property)
Whether excise tax applies or if an exemption is available
Any supporting documents required by King County (Cover sheet, REET forms, etc.)
Yes. Washington State law requires all Quit Claim Deeds to be signed in the presence of a notary public. Remote online notarization (RON) is permitted in Seattle and accepted by King County.
Once submitted, e-recording through King County typically takes 1–3 business days. In-person submissions may take longer depending on county volume. After acceptance, King County updates the ownership records and provides a recorded copy.
No. A Quit Claim Deed only changes property ownership—it does not change or remove responsibility for an existing mortgage. To remove a borrower from a mortgage, you must refinance or obtain lender approval separately.
Yes. Many Seattle homeowners use Quit Claim Deeds to transfer their property into a revocable living trust or a Washington or out-of-state LLC. Additional documents or REET exemptions may apply depending on the structure and ownership.
