Deeds Quit Claim Illinois: Quick Facts
Yes, the grantor's signature must be notarized. But that's not all—you also need to file Form PTAX-203 (Real Estate Transfer Declaration) with the deed. Illinois wants to know about every transfer for tax purposes.
Most quit claim deeds between family members don't trigger transfer taxes, but you still need that PTAX-203 form to declare the exemption. Don't assume anything—file the paperwork properly or the recorder won't accept your deed.
That's exactly what Illinois law requires. Don't use "grant," "bargain," or "sell"—those words imply warranties. Illinois statute specifically calls for "convey and quit claim" language.
