Definition: To place an eligible document affecting property rights in the appropriate public records. Recording can provide constructive notice and affect priority under governing law.
Example
After closing, a deed is recorded in the county where the real property is located.
Keep the distinction clear
Recording is different from signing or delivering a document. Recording alone does not cure an invalid instrument or guarantee clear title.
