A deed can be recorded in one of two ways. The first method is to work with a professional, such as a title or escrow agent or real estate attorney, who can draw up and record a deed on your behalf.

A deed is a written document which is executed with the necessary formality (that is, more than a simple signature), and by which an interest, right or property passes or is confirmed, or an obligation binding on some person is created or confirmed. Deeds are generally enforceable despite any lack of consideration.
