Blaine County Warranty Deed (Two Grantors) Form

Two record owners convey Oklahoma real property together on this warranty deed: two grantors named in a single instrument, each with a marital status entry, each with a signature line and an acknowledgment certificate of their own. The form carries the statutory warranty of Title 16, Section 40 of the Oklahoma Statutes for both grantors, so a married couple selling the home they own together, and two co-owners passing a shared property to one buyer, complete one deed rather than two.

Both subscriptions on one homestead deed

The two-signature layout answers Oklahoma's oldest conveyancing rule. Article XII, Section 2 of the Oklahoma Constitution and Title 16, Section 4 make a deed relating to a married couple's homestead valid only when husband and wife both subscribe it. When the sellers are that couple, the two grantor blocks and the two signature lines of this form present exactly the subscriptions the rule calls for, with each spouse named, described by marital status, and acknowledged before a notary. The same layout serves pairs the homestead rule never touches: siblings who inherited undivided halves, friends unwinding a co-investment, a parent and an adult child consolidating title in a buyer.

One warranty from both grantors

The operative section speaks the words the Oklahoma Legislature printed at statehood, grant, bargain, sell and convey, joined to the promise to warrant the title. Those words pull the implied covenants of Title 16, Section 19 into the deed for both grantors: seisin of an indefeasible fee simple, the right and power to convey, freedom from liens and encumbrances, quiet possession, and defense of the title. Because express words control the covenants, the form pairs the warranty with an exceptions section where recorded easements, building restrictions, mineral reservations, and the current year's taxes are listed, keeping the promise precise instead of overbroad. Title a grantor acquires after delivery passes to the grantee automatically under Title 16, Section 17.

Two acknowledgment certificates, one grantee entry

The form recites exactly two individual grantors and carries a separate acknowledgment certificate for each, so the signers may appear before different notaries, on different dates, in different states. A sole owner's conveyance, and a conveyance that calls for a third signature, follow patterns this form is not set up as. The grantee entry is open on the receiving side: one grantee taking a fee simple, or co-grantees with a designation following their names, and the guide walks through the tenancy in common default, the express joint tenancy declaration, and the tenancy by the entirety election Oklahoma recognizes under Title 60, Section 74.

What the county clerk looks for

Since November 1, 2023, Oklahoma county clerks refuse a deed that arrives without the notarized land ownership affidavit of the incoming owner attached as an exhibit, unless the face of the deed shows an exemption; Section 8 of this form states that posture on the face, and the guide covers the Attorney General's affidavit versions. Every page reserves the two inch top margin in force since the 2024 amendment of Title 19, Section 298, the grantee's name and mailing address sit on the face as the recording and stamp statutes contemplate, and the clerk computes documentary stamp tax on the stated consideration at $0.75 per $500 before the deed enters the record; the guide describes the statutory exemptions and the supporting documentation counties ask for when one is claimed.

What arrives in the download

The download delivers three pieces: the blank two-grantor warranty deed as a fillable PDF, a completed example filled in for a Tulsa County sale by a married couple, and a plain language guide covering each numbered section, the homestead subscription rule, notarization, and the recording steps with fees and stamp tax mechanics. The materials describe Oklahoma law in general terms and are not legal advice.
