Signing Requirements for New Jersey Deeds. A New Jersey deed must be in writing and must include the transferring owner's signature. An owner that is an entity signs through an officer, fiduciary, or other agent with legal authority to act on the entity's behalf.

A deed must be notarized before it is recorded or delivered to the new owner. A deed that is not notarized may be, as an alternative, signed by at least one witness who attests that the deed was signed by the owner and delivered to the new owner. New York has statutory model notary certificates for deeds.

Also, deeds generally allow for a longer limitation period within which a claim under the instrument may be made. A contract has a limitation period of six years, but the window for a deed is usually 12 years.

Deeds are usually three to four pages. A deed states clearly the property address, grantor (the person selling the property), grantee (the person buying the property), the date the deed was recorded, and other identifying information about the property.

A deed must be filed with the recorder of deeds for the county where the property is located. Pennsylvania law requires deeds to be recorded within 90 days after the deed is signed if it is signed in Pennsylvania or within six months if it is signed outside Pennsylvania.

Examples of a deed are deeds of hypothecation for creating charge on movable properties in favour of the banks/financial institutions etc. An agreement by its name suggests that there should be at least two parties signing/approving the same. Examples of an agreement are agreement to sale, loan agreement etc.

Mortgages are usually six to 10 pages in length but are often longer because they typically are accompanied by different riders and addenda, which make specific demands against the type of lien on the land.
