Wyoming Warranty Deed from Individual to Individual
What this document covers
The Warranty Deed from Individual to Individual is a legal document that facilitates the transfer of property ownership from one individual (the Grantor) to another (the Grantee). This type of deed assures the Grantee that the property title is clear and free from encumbrances, except for specific exclusions noted in the deed.

FAQ
The original deed is returned to the owner of the property from the office of the recorder after proper entry.

Contrary to normal expectations, the Deed DOES NOT have to be recorded to be effective or to show delivery, and because of that, the Deed DOES NOT have to be signed in front of a Notary Public. However, if you plan to record it, then it does have to be notarized as that is a County Recorder requirement.

Typically, the lender will provide you with a copy of the deed of trust after the closing. The original warranty deeds are often mailed to the grantee after they are recorded. These are your original copies and should be kept in a safe place, such as a fireproof lockbox or a safe deposit box at a financial institution.
The mortgage company usually prepares this deed as part of the loan package and delivers it to the title company for you to sign at closing. The title company is commonly the trustee to the deed and holds legal title to the property until the loan gets fully repaid.
