Recording a Quitclaim Deed in Assumption Parish, Louisiana
The transfer of real property in Louisiana follows the general requirement of an authentic act. An authentic act is a writing executed before a notary public or other officer authorized to perform that function, in the presence of two witnesses, and signed by each party who executed it, by each witness, and by each notary public before whom it was executed.
The following guidelines can be used in preparing your quitclaim deed:
1. Quitclaim deed documents should be submitted on 8.5x11 inch white paper or 8.5x14 inch white paper. The font should be black and no smaller than 8 point.
2. Original copies only are accepted. These are not returned to the submitter.
3. On the first page, there should be 2 inch margins on both the top and the bottom.
4. Subsequent pages should have 1 inch margins on all sides.
5. A document title should appear on the first page, below the 2 inch top margin. “Quitclaim Deed” is a sufficient title.
6. Any party to an act conveying real property located in Louisiana outside the city limits of New Orleans may obtain a certificate showing whether the state, parish, municipal, and levee district taxes due thereon, except for the year in which the conveyance takes place, have been paid.
7. The seller of residential real property shall complete a property disclosure document in a form prescribed by the Louisiana Real Estate Commission or a form that contains at least the minimum required by that commission.
8. Quitclaim deeds must include a legal property description and must state the total consideration paid for the property.
