Any conveyance of land in Rhode Island is required to be in writing, signed, acknowledged, delivered, and recorded in the town or city where the real estate is located. The statutory forms as referenced in the Rhode Island General Laws 34-11-11 can be used for quit claim conveyances and can be altered as circumstances may require. A duly executed quit claim deed will have the force and effect of a deed in fee simple to the grantee, his heirs and assigns with quit claim covenants on part of the grantor that he or she will warrant and defend forever the premises against the lawful claims and demands of all persons claiming by, through, or under the grantor (34-11-17). A quit claim deed contains "quit claim covenants," while a warranty deed contains a covenant of warranty.

Rhode Island, like many other New England states, does not have a county government system. The state is divided into municipalities, which handle all local government issues.
