Recording Information |
Real estate deeds that transfer property in New Hampshire can be recorded to provide constructive notice of the transfer. In most cases deed documents are recorded in the County where the property is located.
I. NEW HAMPSHIRE RECORDING STATUTE
Every deed or other conveyance of real estate or instrument which affects title to any interest in real estate shall be recorded at length in the registry of deeds office in the county or counties where the land lies. An instrument will not be effective as against bona fide purchasers for value unless it is recorded.
No deed of bargain and sale, mortgage, other conveyance of real estate, or a lease for more than seven years from the making thereof, shall be valid to hold the same against any person but the grantor and his heirs only, unless such deed is acknowledged and recorded.
II. GUIDELINES FOR SUBMITTING DOCUMENTS
A document should be original and should consist of individual pages that are not permanently bound or in a continuous form. The entire document must be suitable for reproduction on copy equipment currently in use by the Register of Deeds. Use clean white 20 # paper that measures 8.5 x 11 inches. The preferred size is 8.5 x 11 inches, but 8.5 x 14 inches is also accepted. Do not use colored markers to highlight text. Stamps and seals should not cover pertinent information. If this happens, it is better to add a new page, referring to “See attached exhibit.”
In the upper left-hand corner of the first page, provide a blank space of 4 by 2 inches. This is reserved for the Register of Deeds. All other margins should be at least 1 inch.
Printing or typing should be in Times New Roman font and no smaller than 10 point. Printing should be on one side of the page only. Black ink is acceptable, but the
Register of Deeds prefers blue ink for signatures.
The Register of Deeds will not accept a document if the following guidelines are not adhered to:
1. The latest mailing address of the grantee must be named in the instrument.
2. The names of all municipalities in which the property is located must be in the first descriptive sentence of the document.
3. The name of each person signing the deed as a party to the transaction must be printed or typed underneath their signature.
Unless an exemption is stated in the deed, transfer tax applies to all deeds of conveyance. |
