How can buyers be assured that they are receiving valid title in a real estate transaction?

"RECORDING" is the process of entering a document into the public record. We are primarily concerned with recording those documents related to the conveyance of real estate. This process is important because it provides prospective buyers with accessible, legally-acceptable evidence of a clean and legitimately-held title. "Recording" helps sellers to assure prospective buyers that any transaction which takes place between them will involve a valid title conveyance.
