A Deed can be prepared by the grantor, but NJ requires that a licensed attorney in this state can only prepare a Deed on someone's behalf. Effective date of transfer must be printed on first page of Deed (transfer date would be the closing date of the conveyance).
The deed must be signed in ink by the Grantors in the presence of a notary public, with the Grantors' names printed below the signatures. Contrary to popular belief, the Grantors' signatures do not need to be witnessed (other than by a notary). The deed does not need to be signed by the Grantees (buyers).
Signing Requirements for New Jersey Deeds. A New Jersey deed must be in writing and must include the transferring owner's signature. An owner that is an entity signs through an officer, fiduciary, or other agent with legal authority to act on the entity's behalf.
In New Jersey, the deed must be in English, identify the seller/buyer (grantor/grantee), name the person that prepared the deed, state the consideration (amount paid) for the transfer, contain a legal description of the property (a survey), include the signature of the grantor and be signed before a notary.
(The actual signature of the preparer was a requirement up until recently, but is no longer required.) Note that the Grantor may legally prepare his or her own deed, but only an attorney licensed in the State of New Jersey can prepare a deed for someone else.
