Glossary · Doing the deal
In short
A recorded deed is the legal document that transfers ownership of real property from the seller to the buyer, officially filed with the county recorder's office.
After closing on a business with real estate, ensuring the deed is properly recorded is critical. This public filing establishes your legal ownership and protects your interest in the property. Your attorney or title company handles this crucial step.
