A deed is a paper record that transfers real estate property ownership to another person. The names of the prior and new owners of the real estate property for which the deed is being written and a legal description of the real estate property are included in this document.

The deed is then notarized when the individual transfers the real estate property, signing it in the presence of a Notary Public. The deed shall then be “recorded” (filed) in the county where the real estate property is situated at the County Recorder’s Office.
