How can a recorded deed be changed?
The only way to change a recorded deed is to have a new deed prepared and recorded in the Clerk’s Land Records Office. The Clerk’s Land Records Office does not prepare deeds, advise on what type of deed fits your needs or have any deed forms. It is recommended that you seek legal advice in this very important matter and protect the biggest investment of your life, even if it is a family related change to your document.
The Clerk’s Land Records Office will accept a deed that you prepare, but the Office only checks to see that it is signed and notarized. The Office does not check for any other important legalities. What happens when I pay off my mortgage?
When a mortgage is paid off, you should receive a Certificate of Satisfaction from your lender after it has been recorded in the Clerk’s Office. You will not receive any document from the Clerk’s Office. The recorded Certificate of Satisfaction is the only document that you need to prove that your loan is paid off. You can obtain a certified copy of your Deed, Certificate of Satisfaction or any other recorded document at the Records, Research and Copies Center, Room 305, for a fee of 50 cents per page and $2 for certification. A deed is usually one to three pages and a Certificate of Satisfaction is usually one page.
What happens if the recording fee is not the correct amount?
If the check for recording is short, the recording is rejected until additional funds are provided. In the event that the recording check is in excess of monies up to $25.00, it still can be recorded with the additional funds deposited into the Clerks Office account. Any checks more than $25.00 in excess can be refunded with the understanding that it will take about 30 days to process. What are the Recording Standards?
