• When you purchase real property, Title to the property is transferred to you in a document called a “Deed”. To ensure that that you have legal title to the property, this Deed must be recorded in the land records of the county or city in which the property is located. Recordation of the Deed at the land records office serves as legal notice to all persons that you hold Title to the real property.
