A property deed is a legal document that transfers the ownership of real estate from a seller to a buyer. For a deed to be legal it must state the name of the buyer and the seller, describe the property that is being transferred, and include the signature of the party that is transferring the property.

Oklahoma deeds require the following: Upon delivery of the signed and notarized deed to the grantee, the deed becomes effective and is a legally binding document. The deed must be recorded with the county register to notify all third parties that the grantor has released all claims to the property to another individual.

While recording a deed does not affect its validity, it is extremely important to record since recordation protects the grantee. If a grantee fails to record, and another deed or any other document encumbering or affecting the title is recorded, the first grantee is in jeopardy.

Oklahoma deeds must meet the following signature requirements: Signatures. The current owner of the transferred real estate must sign an Oklahoma deed. ... Notarization.
