Crook County Gift Deed (Two Grantors) Form

When two people hold Wyoming real property together and give it away, both estates leave by one instrument, under two signatures and two acknowledgment certificates. This form prepares a Wyoming gift deed for exactly that pattern: two natural persons, each holding an interest of record, conveying for love and affection and no monetary consideration to one or two grantees, with the configuration fixed in the text of the deed itself.

Two estates in one granting sentence

Section 1 states that the grantors are two natural persons, each of whom holds an interest of record and conveys in the grantor's own right, not as a trustee, personal representative, agent, attorney-in-fact, or officer of an entity. Section 8 then gives, grants, and conveys all of the grantors' estate, the whole estate Wyoming Statutes 34-2-101 passes unless a lesser one is expressed. Spouses who hold as tenants by the entirety convey the entirety estate when both sign, which under Lewis v. Wolfe, 2026 WY 63, neither could do alone; two tenants in common convey both undivided shares; co-owners of a half interest convey that half.

Married grantors and the homestead rule

Wyoming Statutes 34-2-121 provides that an instrument conveying a homestead is signed and acknowledged by the owner and the owner's spouse and contains in substance a release of the homestead exemption; the release is printed inside the granting sentence of this form. On a two-grantor deed signed by spouses who both hold title, that signing rule is satisfied by the deed's own two signatures. The form carries signature blocks and certificates for the two grantors and for no one else, so a conveyance that calls for the signature of a spouse who holds no record interest follows a pattern this form does not recite.

A gift with no covenant riding on it

Section 3 contains no blanks: it states that the conveyance is a gift, that the grantors receive no monetary consideration, and that they intend a present and irrevocable gift. Wyoming prints statutory forms only for deeds that warrant, specially warrant, or quitclaim, and under Wyoming Statutes 34-1-135 no covenant is implied in a conveyance of real estate other than minerals, so a deed that uses none of those statutory words carries no covenant at all. The granting section says so, and the grantees take the title as the two grantors held it.

What the words after the grantees' names decide

A gift to two grantees takes its form from the designation after their names in Section 2: a deed silent on survivorship creates a tenancy in common under Wyoming case law, clear survivorship words create a joint tenancy under Wyoming Statutes 34-1-140(a), and a designation of the grantees as husband and wife or spouses establishes a tenancy by the entirety under 34-1-140(b) unless the deed specifies another form. The completed example illustrates parents on one title giving their Rock Springs home to a daughter and a son as tenants in common.

Two signatures, two certificates, one counter

The form recites exactly two grantors. Each has a labeled block in Section 1, a signature block headed FIRST GRANTOR or SECOND GRANTOR in Section 9, and an acknowledgment certificate of the grantor's own on the short form of Wyoming Statutes 32-3-115, so the two may acknowledge on different dates, before different notarial officers, or in different states; the second certificate is this form's layout, not a Wyoming requirement. Spouses on one title giving the family home to a child, and siblings who inherited a parcel together giving it to one of their children, present the two-grantor pattern this deed recites; a sole owner's gift and a deed by three or more owners, an entity, a trustee, or an attorney-in-fact follow patterns the form is not set up as. At the clerk's counter the deed is joined by the sworn Statement of Consideration that Wyoming Statutes 34-1-142(b) makes a condition of recording, on which a gift of more than half the property's value omits the price and terms; Wyoming imposes no transfer tax, and acknowledgment without witnesses is the signing formality.
