Mississippi Deed Forms

Mississippi Deed Forms

A Mississippi deed is a legal form by which ownership of real property transfers from one party to another. Before executing the document, the property transferor (“grantor”) should consider the covenants and title assurances each type of deed provides. For instance, a quit claim deed conveys an interest in real estate with no warranties of title and no guarantee that the grantor is the rightful owner. Due to this lack of protection, this deed type should only be used when the property recipient (“grantee”) is confident that no encumbrances are clouding the title.

The deed offering the highest level of title protection is the general warranty deed, which promises that the title is unencumbered and that the grantor has the legal right to transfer the property.
