Edmonson County Warranty Deed (Two Grantors) Form

Two grantors, one Kentucky deed. This warranty deed is arranged for a pair of record owners who convey real property together in a single instrument, joining in one granting clause that carries the KRS 382.030 general warranty. It names two granting parties by full name, marital status, and mailing address, gives each of them a signature line and a notarial certificate of their own, and adds the grantee's signature where Kentucky recording law asks for it.

A joint conveyance in one granting clause

Rather than stacking two separate transfers, the deed moves a jointly held title in one recorded step. Both grantors join in the same operative sentence, which grants, bargains, sells, and conveys the property with general warranty, and each grantor then conveys and releases that grantor's entire interest, including any dower, curtesy, or homestead interest belonging to that grantor. The covenant that results reaches beyond the grantors' own period of ownership: an express promise to warrant and defend the title against all claims, stated in the operative section alongside the statutory warranty words themselves. An exceptions section defines what the covenant leaves out, listing the recorded restrictions, easements, and current taxes the conveyance is made subject to.

Three signers, three notary blocks

The signature architecture is where a two-grantor Kentucky deed differs most from a one-owner conveyance. Each grantor signs the deed and the consideration certificate; the grantee signs a third line that applies to the consideration certificate alone, because KRS 382.135 makes that certificate a sworn, notarized statement from both sides of the transaction. Every signer's signature carries its own certificate reading subscribed, sworn to, and acknowledged, wording that records the acknowledgment KRS 382.130 contemplates for recording together with the oath behind the certificate, and the three certificates stand independently, so the grantors and the grantee may appear before different notaries, on different dates, in different states.

The ownership patterns behind two grantors

A married couple who both hold record title and sell the home together present the most common two-grantor pattern: each spouse's joinder in the granting clause carries the release of that spouse's statutory rights under KRS 392.020, so the marital-rights question that shadows a one-spouse conveyance is answered inside the deed. Siblings who co-own a family property, business partners passing an investment parcel, and any other pair of record owners consolidating the whole title in a buyer complete the same pattern. The form recites exactly two grantors signing personally; a sole owner's conveyance, a group of three or more co-owners, and a trustee or personal representative conveying in a fiduciary capacity present configurations this form is not set up to carry.

Two names everywhere the statute asks for one

Kentucky's deed-content statutes scale with the number of grantors. The full name and mailing address requirement of KRS 382.135 reaches both granting parties, the source-of-title clause under KRS 382.110 identifies the recorded deed by which the two took title, by office, book, page, and date, and the transfer tax of KRS 142.050 falls on the grantors jointly, computed by the county clerk on the stated consideration before the deed is legally lodged. The form also carries the in-care-of address for the property tax bill and the signed preparer endorsement of KRS 382.335, with the deed formatted to the letter-size, three-inch-top-margin standard the major Kentucky county clerks publish.
