If you do not record your deed in Virginia, the deed will not be valid, and the grantee will not have any legal claim to the property. Additionally, if you try to sell the property without having recorded the deed, you may face legal difficulties, as potential buyers will not be able to confirm that you are the rightful owner of the property.
Therefore, it is always best to record your deed as soon as possible after it has been executed. If you have any questions about deed recording in Virginia or need assistance with any step of the process, it is always best to consult with an experienced deed preparation attorney.
