Alaska Deed Forms & Templates

The Alaska state legislature regulates Alaska Deed Forms. Each deed must be signed and sealed by the seller of any land, real estate, or other realty. Also known as a conveyance, the transfer of property must be acknowledged and proved by a deed.

Alaska property deeds include elements such as:

• Names of the grantor (current owner)
• The legal description of the property
• The signature of the grantor

Alaska deed forms must be presented in writing and notarized before being recorded in the county where the property exists.

Alaska General Warranty Deed

The Alaska General (Statutory) Warranty Deed form transfers property or real estate from the seller to the buyer. The document contains a comprehensive warranty of title, which means that:

• The seller holds the legal title to the property
• No encumbrances exist on the deed apart from those potentially specified
• No other party claims an interest in the property

Any recording of a general Alaska warranty deed must happen at one of the 34 recording districts in Alaska. A notary public must be present at the time of signing.

Alaska Quit Claim Deed

An Alaska quitclaim deed transfers property or real estate from a seller to a buyer. A quitclaim deed transfers ownership, with the buyer accepting any risks associated with the property.

In Alaska, a quitclaim deed must be recorded and filed in the proper district. The property address will align with a specific state recorder district, where the documents will be filed. These deeds must be authorized in the presence of a notary public.

Alaska Special Warranty Deed

The Alaska special warranty deed is used to transfer property and real estate rights from a seller to a buyer with a limited warranty. The deed must contain any warranty restrictions per information provided by the seller.

Alaska Deed of Trust

The Alaska deed of trust is an agreement between a trustor (those seeking a loan) and the trustee (the loan provider). The agreement states that the person seeking the loan will pay it and that the loan provider will hold the property title until the time when the loan is paid in full.

The property title acts as collateral for the loan amount until the trustor (or borrower) can pay back the loan. Once the loan is fully paid, the trustor receives ownership of the legal title to the property.
