Registry of Deeds

A Registry of Deeds is a government office that keeps official records of property ownership and related documents, such as deeds, mortgages, and liens. When a property is bought or sold, the transaction is recorded here to establish legal ownership and protect the rights of property owners. This public access ensures transparency and provides a historical record of property transfers. It helps prevent disputes over property titles and allows individuals and institutions to verify ownership, making it a crucial part of real estate transactions.
