Document Formatting Requirements
* Any deed or other instrument relating to or affecting title to real property must be properly acknowledged.* The grantor to a real estate deed must sign and acknowledge it.
* Submit deeds on white 8.5 x 11 inch paper. Real estate deeds may be on paper as large as 8.5 x 14 inches. Anything larger will result in additional fees. Use a readable font size when preparing a document.
