Grenada County Warranty Deed (Two Grantors) Form

This Mississippi warranty deed carries two grantors through one instrument. The deed recites a separate section for each grantor, places two signature blocks side by side on the signing page, and closes with an acknowledgment certificate for each signer, so a married couple or a pair of co-owners passes full warranty title in a single recorded document.

Two signatures, and the statute that can demand the second one

Mississippi homestead law gives the two grantor pattern its highest stakes. Under Mississippi Code Annotated Section 89-1-29, a conveyance of homestead property by a married owner living with a spouse is not valid or binding unless the spouse signs the deed, and the Mississippi Supreme Court has treated a homestead deed missing that signature as absolutely void, a defect later conduct does not cure. A husband and wife selling the home place therefore appear in the record as joint grantors, each named, each signing, each acknowledging. That is precisely the architecture this deed carries: when the two grantors are spouses conveying the homestead they own together, the joinder the statute describes is satisfied on the face of the instrument.

The two grantor configuration

Each grantor section collects a full legal name with a marital status recital, a current mailing address, and current telephone numbers, the contact data Mississippi Code Section 27-3-51 collects from every grantor and grantee before a deed records. The operative section then states that Grantor One and Grantor Two convey and warrant the described property, the statutory phrase Mississippi law loads with the full set of common law title covenants, binding both signers to the same promise. Record patterns that present two grantors include spouses conveying the property both of them own, two siblings joining in one deed to pass inherited land to a single buyer, and co-owners consolidating title in a new name. The form is not set up as a single grantor instrument, an entity or trustee conveyance, a deed signed under a power of attorney, or a deed for three or more owners; each of those patterns recites a different capacity and signature architecture.

Two certificates, gathered on two schedules

The form carries a separate acknowledgment certificate for each grantor as a matter of layout, not legal requirement, and the arrangement earns its space in practice: two grantors rarely stand in the same room. One may sign before a notary in Jackson on a Tuesday and the other before an officer in Memphis a week later, because Mississippi gives effect to a notarial act validly performed in another state. Each certificate follows the statutory short form wording Mississippi adopted with its 2021 notarial act rewrite, and each grantor appears physically in person before the officer taking the acknowledgment, since Mississippi has not enacted remote online notarization. The printed name line beneath each signature satisfies the recording statute's name identification rule.

One deed, one trip to the chancery clerk

The deed records in the chancery clerk's office of the county where the land lies, and with two grantors the contact data rule doubles: the clerk's intake looks for the address and telephone information of both grantors and every grantee, so the deed provides a dedicated space for each. Mississippi's recording statute also fixes where that information sits: Section 89-5-24(2) places the parties' names, addresses, and telephone numbers, the preparer and return blocks, the title, and the indexing instruction on the first page below the three inch recording margin, and recorded page one of this deed carries all of them, with the full legal description following on the next page as the statute allows. Mississippi collects no transfer tax on an ordinary deed, and the base recording charge covers a deed of this length in every county.

What arrives with the deed

The purchase delivers the blank two grantor warranty deed as a fillable PDF, a completed example working through a Rankin County sale by a married couple, and a plain language guide covering each numbered section, the co-ownership forms available to the grantees, the homestead signing rules, and every recording step. These materials describe the governing statutes in general terms rather than applying them to any particular facts, and they are not legal advice; a Mississippi attorney can address how the rules operate on a specific title or family arrangement.
