If a husband and wife are going through a divorce, can each one sign a warranty deed separately before a notary public?
Hi,
From your post it is not very clear who the grantor (i.e. the person who transfers the property) is and who the grantee is. However, there is no requirement for a separate deed. Normally the deed needs to be signed by only the grantor in the presence of a notary public. Then it is signed and stamped by the notary public after which the deed is sent to the grantee.
In some states though, the deed requires to be signed by both the grantor and the grantee. And some states like Arkansas, Georgia, Michigan, Ohio, South Carolina and Vermont also require witnesses other than the notary public to sign the deed.
Consulting an attorney in this regard would certainly be a good option for you.
Hope to see you soon in the forum.
Be cheerful & keep smiling.
