Are the house deed the same for every state?

Answer 1

They are largely similar, but the really important differences are 1) in the statutes that determine whether there is Dower and Curtesy, and whether spouses automatically take in Survivorship whether or not both are even mentioned, and 2) witnessing and attestation requirements for validity.

Answer 2

Deeds can vary from state to state on various things.
Some are simply called Deed, some Deed of Trust ... etc.

Community property states mandate joint ownership, dowery states do not.

The owner has many choices in the make up of the deed (at least in some states). For instance, the survivorship clause of a joint deed.

In our state, they MUST be prepared by an attorney to be legit. And of course, an unrecorded deed isn't legally acknowledged as proof of ownership.

Check with your court clerk, or registar of deeds (or mortgages) in the state you are concerned about.

Answer 3

The basic format of the form is the same in all states, the only difference is that some states require certain language placed just prior to the signature area such as "With Statutory warranties"
