Regardless of one's societal or occupational position, completing law-related paperwork is a regrettable requirement in today's society.

?DEED: A written instrument by which one party, the Grantor, conveys the title of ownership in property to another party, the Grantee.? A Warranty Deed contains promises, called covenants, that the Grantor makes to the Grantee.
Recording a deed in the county where the property is located places the document in the public records, providing constructive notice to subsequent purchasers, mortgagers, creditors, and the general public about a conveyance related to a specific parcel of real property.
A bargain and sale with covenants against grantor's acts contains only one covenant or promise; that is, that the grantor has done nothing to encumber title with easements, liens, judgements and the like while owing the property. The covenant contained in the deed is considered personal. It does not run with the land.
Although a ?valid? deed effectively transfers ownership, validity alone will not protect the grantee's interest against future claims. Deeds must be recorded to be fully enforceable against future claims under the New Jersey Recording Act. Recording occurs by filing copies in the county where the property sits.
If Your Deed Is Not Recorded, the Property Could Be Sold Out From Under You (and Other Scary Scenarios) In practical terms, failure to have your property deed recorded would mean that, if you ever wanted to sell, refinance your mortgage, or execute a home equity line of credit, you could not do so.
A bargain and sale deed with Covenants as to Grantor's Acts is the most common deed in New Jersey. A bargain and sale deed conveys the entirety of the grantor's interest at the time of transfer.
Regular filings in the Clerks' Offices include deeds, mortgages, early marriage returns (1795-1878), tavern licenses, etc. In some counties, deeds and mortgages are filed by a County Register of Deeds.
In New Jersey, the preparation of legal documents such as a deed is considered the practice of law which may only be undertaken by an Attorney at Law of the State of New Jersey. The only exception to that rule is that an individual representing him/herself may prepare his/her own documents.
In New Jersey, the deed must be in English, identify the seller/buyer (grantor/grantee), name the person that prepared the deed, state the consideration (amount paid) for the transfer, contain a legal description of the property (a survey), include the signature of the grantor and be signed before a notary.
For the most part, the deeds are recorded fairly promptly, but take six to ten weeks to get back a recorded deed from the clerk's office, so be patient.
