Mississippi recording note.
Mississippi deeds are recorded with the county Chancery Clerk. Ordinary deeds require acknowledgment or proof, not witnesses, and if the property is Mississippi homestead, both spouses generally must sign even if only one spouse is on title.
What Is a Mississippi Quitclaim Deed?
A Mississippi quitclaim deed transfers whatever title and possession the grantor has in Mississippi real estate, without deed warranties. It is often used for known-party, family, trust, divorce, or title-clearing transfers when no warranty protection is intended.
When to Use a Quitclaim Deed in Mississippi
- Transferring property between family members or former spouses when no deed warranty is intended.
- Moving real estate into or out of a trust or closely held entity, when appropriate.
- Clearing a title issue when a no-warranty quitclaim deed is the correct curative instrument.
- Using a no-warranty deed where the parties know and accept the title-risk allocation.
Mississippi Recording Notes
- Signing: The grantor signs the deed. If the property is Mississippi homestead, both spouses generally must sign even if only one spouse is on title.
- Acknowledgment: Mississippi deeds require acknowledgment or proof for recording.
- Witnesses: Mississippi does not require deed witnesses for an ordinary acknowledged deed.
- Recording: Record the deed with the county Chancery Clerk where the property is located.
- Transfer Tax / Fees: Mississippi has no real-estate transfer tax for ordinary surface deeds, but county recording fees still apply. Mineral documentary tax can apply if minerals are conveyed.
- Withholding / Disclosure: A nonresident-owned Mississippi real-property sale with gross proceeds over $100,000 may require Mississippi withholding, and residential property-condition disclosure rules can apply to broker-assisted residential sales.
- Legal Description: Use the complete legal description from a prior deed, title commitment, survey, or other reliable title source. A street address or parcel number alone is usually not enough.
- Manufactured Homes / Mortgages: A land deed does not by itself transfer an unretired or unaffixed manufactured home, release a borrower from a deed of trust or mortgage, or clear liens.
Quitclaim Deed vs Other Mississippi Deeds
A Mississippi quitclaim deed provides no deed warranties and ordinarily does not pass after-acquired title. For many ordinary buyer-seller transactions, a Mississippi warranty deed is the more customary starting point.
