All deeds are prepared by an Illinois Real Estate Attorney
For this basic service, a quit claim deed attorney will prepare the new quitclaim deed (and Grantor/Grantee Statement if necessary). The fee is $150 (or $160 if paid by credit card). It will be your responsibility to get the transfer stamps (if necessary) and get the deed recorded with the County Recorder. There is nothing legal about obtaining the municipal stamp and recording the deed. It is just time consuming and there are fees that must be paid.
This service includes everything in the Basic Services Option PLUS obtaining local municipal transfer stamps, and recording the quitclaim deed with the county recorder’s office. The price for this service, if paying by cash or check, starts at $355 for municipalities that do not have transfer stamps. Some municipalities require various water, sewer, or property inspections prior to the issuance of the stamp. See the list below for prices by municipality.

In Illinois, all counties and many municipalities (cities), require the payment of a transfer stamp fee for a non-exempt quitclaim deed transaction. Generally speaking, a non-exempt transfers occur when one party pays another party money for the property. Conversely, exempt transfers are when no money is given from one party to another. In addition to a money payment, other forms of payment include debt relief. Examples of other forms of payment or debt relief include paying the property taxes or other liens. To be considered an exempt transaction -- whereby transfer stamps do not need to be purchased -- the consideration (value) must be $100 or less.
