About this Mississippi form
A Mississippi warranty deed is the statutory short form under Miss. Code § 89-1-61. The operative words are “convey and warrant.” The unrestricted word “warrant” imports the five covenants of § 89-1-33: seizin, power to sell, freedom from incumbrance, quiet enjoyment, and warranty of title. Mississippi does not import a sixth covenant of further assurances. Do not add “specially.”
A Mississippi statutory warranty deed (§ 89-1-61) uses “convey and warrant” and imports five covenants, including power to sell. A Mississippi quitclaim (§ 89-1-37) is a conveyance without any warranty. Mississippi has no separate “grant deed” category. A special-warranty formulation (“warrant specially”) is a different instrument and is not this packet.

Unrestricted “warrant” imports five covenants under § 89-1-33: seizin, power to sell, freedom from incumbrance, quiet enjoyment, and warranty of title. The covenant name is “power to sell,” not “right to convey.” It does not import further assurances.
Mississippi has no surface real-estate transfer tax. County recording fees still apply. Mineral documentary tax can apply if minerals are conveyed.
Record with the Chancery Clerk of the county where the land lies.
No. A deed transfers title. It does not release a borrower from an existing deed of trust or mortgage, remove liens, or replace lender consent, payoff, refinance, or assumption.
If the property is a homestead exempt from execution and the owner is married and living with the spouse, both must sign. Otherwise the conveyance is not valid or binding and Mississippi courts treat it as void as to both spouses. A titled spouse signs as a grantor.
PublicLegal provides this self-help deed form template for customers to complete with their own transaction information. For transaction-specific legal, title, tax, or recording guidance, consult an attorney, title company, tax professional, or the local Chancery Clerk.
A warranty deed includes the grantor's warranty covenants — generally a promise that the grantor owns the property and will defend the title against claims, subject to any exceptions stated in the deed. It offers the grantee broader title protection than a quitclaim deed.
Warranty deeds are commonly used in arm's-length sales and other transfers where the grantee wants full title warranties from the grantor. Lenders and title insurers generally expect them for ordinary purchases.
The packet includes the blank state-specific deed in editable Word format plus a separate completion instructions and checklist document. A completed sample PDF may be offered as an optional add-on.
Recording offices review formatting, execution requirements such as notarization, and any required supplemental forms or fees, which vary by county. The included instructions cover the general process; confirm your county's current requirements before you record.
