Answer:
In Mississippi, witnesses are not required to execute a quit claim deed. The grantor must sign and date the deed in front of a notary public. Once properly executed, the deed can be recorded as a public document in the county land records.
Key elements of a quit claim deed include:
- Amount of consideration paid
- Grantor’s and grantee’s names and addresses
- City and county where the property is located
- Description of the property
- Signatures of the parties
- Notary acknowledgment
