A contract typically does not have to be notarized. A notary public (or simply notary) provides an acknowledgment that the signature appearing on the document is that of the person whose signature it purports to be. There is a requirement that some documents be notarized, such as a real property deed.
The granteeâs address is required, but the granteeâs signature is only required if the deed contains specific agreements that the buyer makes in exchange for the transfer. In Texas, a real estate deed does not have to be recorded to be fully effective between the grantor and grantee.
