About Delaware Recording

Delaware is a race to record state. Under a Race Statute state the first person to record their deed takes precedence over any unrecorded deed.

If two people receive a real estate deed to the same property at the same time in Delaware the first person to record their deed is the legal recipient of the grantor's rights to the real estate.

A title search is recommended for real estate transactions in Delaware.
