When selling a piece of property, without the aid of a realtor, the seller may decide to use a sample quit claim deed that they find on the Internet, get from a friend or family member, or get from their attorney. Most times an attorney will charge a small amount for the form although it will be less than having them draw up a personalized form.

If you have a family member or a friend that has recently sold property on their own you can see if they have a sample quit claim deed that you can look at. If they want to keep the details of their sale private they can always make a copy of the deed and mark out the information they want to keep private.

The Internet also has a wealth of information for those selling property. You can find sites that allow you to download forms or copy and paste the form into a word processing document. These forms will have areas on it that need to be filled out with information concerning the sale. These will include an area for the property description and legal address, the amount that was paid for the property, the date it was sold, and the signatures of both the seller and the buyer.

Some software titles come with samples of different forms that can be customized for use by individuals. Some titles that may include a sample quit claim deed include Microsoft Word, Microsoft Works, Business in a Box, and Quicken.

A few things to consider before making the decision to use a sample quit claim deed is whether or not sale is considered complicated or not. If the sale is complicated due to ownership, taxes, liens, or estate questions then it would probably be better to use an attorney or realtor to sell the property because the legal forms become their problem and they must make sure they are done correctly.

If there is any question about the sample quit claim deed or either the buyer or seller is not comfortable using the deed it is fine to work with an attorney or realtor to make the sale a little easier, though possibly more expensive
