Signing Requirements
Louisiana warranty deeds are to be signed in the presence of a Notary Public and two (2) witnesses. Once executed, it shall be considered an “authentic act” under Louisiana law and eligible for recording.[1] A warranty deed may also be executed through “private signature,” which involves only the acknowledgment of a Notary Public. However, the former method of executing the warranty deed is highly recommended.[2]
Recording the Deed
The deed must be submitted to the Clerk of the Court’s Office in the parish where the property is located.
