Recording of Deeds

Recording of deeds is the formal process of filing a property transfer document with a government office, typically at the county level. This process makes the transaction public and provides legal notice to others about who owns the property. It protects the rights of the new owner against claims from others and helps establish a clear chain of ownership. The recorded deed includes details such as the buyer’s and seller’s names, the property description, and any terms of the sale. Once recorded, it becomes part of the public record, accessible to anyone interested in the property.
