5 Keys Summary

nnnn

• Recording a deed presumes delivery of the deed.

nnnn

• Delivery of the deed, accompanied by acceptance, is the actual step that conveys title (transfers ownership).

nnnn

• Recording the deed does not provide actual notice; rather, it gives constructive notice to the public.

nnnn

• Constructive notice means the public should be aware of the ownership change because it is a matter of public record.

nnnn

• Recording a deed is not strictly necessary for it to be valid between the grantor and grantee, but it is necessary for protection against third-party claims and to establish the legal presumption of delivery.
