Blaine County Warranty Deed Form

This Oklahoma warranty deed is drawn for a single signer: one individual grantor, one signature line, one acknowledgment certificate. The form conveys Oklahoma real property with the full statutory warranty of title under Title 16, Section 40 of the Oklahoma Statutes, and it recites a grantor who holds record title and signs personally.

The statutory words that carry the warranty

Oklahoma has printed the form of a warranty deed in its statutes since statehood. The operative words, grant, bargain, sell and convey, paired with the promise to warrant the title to the same, bring with them the implied covenants of Title 16, Section 19: that the grantor is seized of an indefeasible fee simple, has good right and full power to convey, that the property is free from encumbrances, that the grantee will enjoy quiet possession, and that the grantor will defend the title. A general warranty deed and a statutory warranty deed are two names for the same Oklahoma instrument, and this form is that instrument, with the statutory words used verbatim.

The statute lets express words limit the implied covenants, so the form carries a dedicated exceptions section. Recorded easements, restrictive covenants, mineral reservations, and current year taxes that ride with the land are stated there, which keeps the warranty accurate instead of overbroad. Oklahoma's after-acquired title rule, Title 16, Section 17, extends the grant: title the grantor acquires later passes to the grantee by operation of law.

One grantor, one signature line

The form recites exactly one individual grantor, with a marital status entry alongside the name. That entry earns its place in Oklahoma, where a deed relating to a married couple's homestead is valid only when both spouses subscribe it, under Article XII, Section 2 of the Oklahoma Constitution and Title 16, Section 4, while a married owner's separate, nonhomestead real estate moves on one signature under Title 16, Section 13. An unmarried owner conveying a home, and a married owner conveying nonhomestead property held separately, present the single signature pattern this deed recites; a homestead conveyance by a married owner presents a two-signature pattern that this form is not set up as. The grantee side is open: one grantee taking a fee simple, or co-grantees with an ownership designation following their names, and the guide describes the tenancy in common, joint tenancy, and tenancy by the entirety forms Oklahoma recognizes under Title 60, Section 74.

The affidavit gate at the recording counter

Oklahoma added a distinctive step to deed recording. For deeds recorded on or after November 1, 2023, the county clerk does not accept a deed unless a notarized land ownership affidavit of the party obtaining title is attached as an exhibit or an applicable exemption is shown on the face of the deed, under Title 60, Section 121. This form carries a section for exactly that statement, and the guide walks through the Attorney General's affidavit forms and the statutory exemptions, so the requirement is handled on the face of the package rather than discovered at the counter.

The rest of the recording picture is built into the layout. The 2024 amendment to Title 19, Section 298 requires two-inch top margins on every page, and the form reserves them; the grantee's name and mailing address appear on the face, which both the recording statute and the documentary stamp statute require; and the consideration entry feeds the stamp tax of seventy-five cents per five hundred dollars that the clerk collects before recording, with the statutory exemptions described in the guide.
