Document Requirements
Formatting and filing standards for recordable instruments
- 1
- A copy of an instrument may not be recorded in the office of the county clerk. Certified copies may be accepted. An instrument must be in the English language to be recorded.
- 2
- A conveyance of an estate of inheritance, a freehold, or an estate for more than one year, in land and in tenements should be in writing and must be subscribed and delivered by the conveyor (the grantor) or by the grantor's agent authorized in writing. Instruments must be acknowledged or proved as required by law. Signatures must be original.
- 3
- A document page is considered to be one side of a sheet of white paper measuring 8.5 x 11 inches or 8.5 x 14 inches. The paper should be of sufficient weight, substance, and color so that printing or typing does not bleed through. If riders or attachments are used, they must also comply with the size requirements and should not be larger than the page. Only one rider or attachment can be attached to a page.
- 4
- The text should be printed in a font size of at least 8 point and in black ink. Printing, typing, and handwriting should be legible.
- 5
- At the top of the first page, provide a document heading or caption that identifies the type of recordable transaction.
- 6
- Instruments will not be recorded unless the mailing address of each grantee is provided either on the instrument itself or in a separate writing that is signed by the grantor or grantee and is attached to the instrument. If this information is not provided as requested, additional fees will apply to the transaction.
