Best Answer

The grantee is the person who is receiving the property: the new owner. The grantor is the person who is transferring the land to the new owner and surrendering all rights in the property. Therefore the grantor is usually the only person who signs the deed. In rare cases the grantee also signs when they are agreeing to some condition. For example, the deed might state that the grantee agrees to allow the grantor to cut and remove timber for one year from the date of the sale.

Do both parties have to be there to sign the paper?

If "parties" means grantor and grantee, then the answer is no. Only the grantor usually signs a deed, unless there are restrictive covenants to which the grantee will be bound. If "parties" means multiple people who currently own the property, then the answer is yes, all selling parties need to sign, either all present at once, or by power of attorney.
