A recorder in the real estate sector usually refers to Government officials, offices, and authorities with the task of recording all details pertaining to land, property titles, deeds, public records, and other ownership details. These are used for making up the databank of land records that can be accessed by citizens. These records are useful for verifying the authenticity of any property/land, along with its ownership details, encumbrances, legal disputes, taxes, and overall chain of ownership. These details are essential while finalizing property purchases as a result.
Recorders of deeds are appointed as elected Government officials in several areas of the United States for instance. Most States in the country have a system of recording property deeds and legal registration documents. This system is also followed in many other global countries, including India. Several Indian States have also digitized land records, with the land, housing, and other authorities leading the charge in tandem with the Central and State Governments. Citizens can access land records for their desired regions in many States. In this sense, the sub-registrar’s office and other authorities function as recorders for this data. These documents also help in setting claims, legal disputes, and other issues.
