Why should I record my quitclaim deed in Pennsylvania?
Under Pennsylvania law, for the transfer of property to be binding on third parties, the deed must be recorded in this office. The purchaser named on the last recorded deed is the current legal owner.
When a quitclaim deed is recorded, a permanent record (scanned image) is made and a specific deed book volume and page number is assigned to the quitclaim deed. Generally, the next working day, the original quitclaim deed is mailed back to the address placed on the deed by the recording party. This is normally the name of the new purchaser. If you do not have your deed, check with your attorney or title company, or you may obtain a copy from the local recorder's office. There is a fee for obtaining a copy of your deed from the recorder's office. |
