Annotate Legal Indiana Deed Forms For Free

Deeds, power of attorneys, and other legal documents that involve legal consequences of actions must be prepared by an attorney.

Answer. The general way to convey real property in Indiana is through a warranty deed. In certain cases, you may also use a quitclaim deed, a deed of trust or a grant deed. Most deeds require the name of the grantor who is the current owner; the grantee (the new owner) as well as the legal property description.

To change, add or remove a name on your deed a new deed needs to be recorded reflecting the change. Many people think they can come into the office and change the present recorded deed with a form, but that is not the case. Once a deed is recorded it cannot be changed.

Prepare your document You may find a draft deed online, through your local library, or another source. You can download this quit claim deed for simple transactions without warranties, such as adding/removing a person(s) to title. The Grantor is the person(s) currently listed as the owner(s).

Recording of Deeds The Recorder's Office is responsible for recording the deed but you must first have it reviewed by the Assessor's office (Room 104) and then transferred by the Auditor's Office (Room 106) before you proceed to have it recorded in the Recorder's Office.

An Indiana quitclaim deed is a document that allows a seller to transfer real estate to a buyer in Indiana. A quit claim does not have any warranties as to title, meaning the seller is not guaranteeing that he or she has clear title to the property.
