Mississippi Warranty Deed from Individual to Two Individuals / Husband and Wife
What is this form?
This Warranty Deed from Individual to Two Individuals, often referred to as a husband and wife deed, is a legal document used to transfer ownership of real property from an individual (the Grantor) to two individuals or a married couple (the Grantees). It guarantees that the property is being conveyed without any encumbrances, meaning the Grantor has the legal right to transfer the property and will defend the title against any claims. This form is distinct from other types of deeds, like quitclaim deeds, as it provides a higher level of assurance to the Grantees regarding the property's title.
Main sections of this form
- Identification of the Grantor and Grantees
- Legal description of the property being transferred
- Statement of consideration, indicating the payment for the property
- Declaration of conveyance, stating the property is transferred to Grantees as joint tenants with right of survivorship
