Contracts
A Wyoming real estate contract requires delivery of the deed at closing. Delivery means:
AMailing the deed to the buyer
BThe grantor's intent to transfer ownership coupled with the grantee's acceptance✓ Correct
CRecording the deed with the county clerk
DDelivering a copy of the deed to the title company only
Explanation
Delivery of a deed requires the grantor's intent to presently transfer ownership (not just put the deed in escrow) and the grantee's acceptance. A deed not properly delivered (e.g., signed but held by the grantor until death) may not effectively transfer title.
