Quit Claim Deed


What is the name of your state? Kentucky

Do you need a lawyer in order to prepare a Quit Claim Deed in Kentucky? I talked to the lady at the courthouse, whom of course cannot give legal advise, & she did mention that it needed to contain the consideration clause, reference to divorce decree (which is why this is being done), valuation amount & of course, legal description & reference to KRS 382. This was all she was able to "mention" She said the Kentucky Legislature had changed some things, but couldn't really tell me what. They had a pamphlet on how to prepare one, but just couldn't seem to find one while I was there.

Is there a blanket form that I can find in order to prepare one on my own instead of paying someone $50 per deed (2 involved)

Also, there is a mobile home involved as well, how would you go about "quit claiming" (I guess would be the term) the title to the home?

Any suggestions are appreciated.

Let's see now.

$50 X 2 = $100 (and it's done right)

versus

Free and it's not done right, you (or the benefactor of the deeds) loses their claim on the property and must hire a real estate attorney (approx. $250 to $500 an hour) to defend their rights.

Yep, $100 is WAAAAY too high a price to pay.

Mobile homes ususally have a title and are handled like vehicles.
