Which piece of information is typically found on a recorded deed?

A recorded deed typically includes the date and time when the deed was recorded because this information is essential for establishing the chronological order of ownership and any claims against the property. The recording timestamp serves to protect the interests of the parties involved by providing legal notice to the public that the transaction has occurred.

While the signature of the buyer is important in the creation of the deed, it is not required for the deed to be recorded; the signature of the grantor (seller) is what validates the transfer of title. The date on which the closing took place may also be noted in various documents associated with the transaction, but it is not a standard element of the recorded deed itself—what is most important for the public record is when it is officially recorded.
