Answer:
In Mississippi, witnesses are not necessary for execution of a Quit claim Deed. The Grantor must date and sign the quit claim deed in the presence of a Notary. Proper execution of the deed will allow it to be recorded as a public document in the county land records.
The important provisions in of a quit claim deed are: The amount of consideration paid, Grantor’s and Grantee’s name and address, City and county where the property is located, Description of the property, Signature of parties and Notary Acknowledgement.
