Your local recorder of deeds or business stationery store can probably supply you with the statutory form of acknowledgment used in your state if needed. Delivery - To be effective, a deed must be delivered during the lifetime of the transferor. However, delivery to a third party as agent for the transferee, or for eventual delivery to the transferee usually will suffice. Also, recording the deed should constitute delivery. In fact, the law in most states assumes that no delivery has taken place if a deed is not recorded, and is later found in the possession of the transferor at the time of his or her death.
Recording is done at the county offices in the county where the land is located.
That office may be called the Recorder of Deeds, Office of Public Records, or similar name. All rights reserved.
