e-Recording available through PeirsonPatterson, LLP (www.ppdocs.com).
PeirsonPatterson, LLP (Arlington) has teamed up with leaders in the
e-Recording industry allowing title companies and lenders the ability to
electronically file and receive recording verification of real estate filings.
The process now only takes a couple hours, instead of days or weeks. This
service is available to any entity authorized to submit documents for recording.
What is recording?
Recording is the act of entering deeds, mortgages, easements, and other
written instruments that affect title to real property into the public record.
The purpose of recording is to give notice, to anyone who is interested, of the
various interests that parties hold in a particular property. Recording
determines the legal priority of instruments that affect title to a particular
property.
What is "e-Recording"?
"e-Recording" is the same as traditional recording with one big difference.
Instead of a person physically delivering or mailing the executed documents to
the recording entity (County Clerk) and then waiting a long period of time
before getting the recording information, the documents are delivered - with
specific indexing data – electronically over the Internet. This allows the
recording entity to assign the recording information in a timelier manner and
return an image of the recorded documents with their recording information.
How does "e-Recording" work?
-
After closing, the executed and notarized documents are scanned by either the
title company or lender at 200dpi in TIFF or PDF format.
-
Complete the required County indexing information via the e-Recording portal on
www.ppdocs.com.
-
The scanned documents are uploaded to www.ppdocs.com
via HTTP protocol.
-
The indexing information and scanned documents are submitted to the appropriate
County.
-
County records the document and returns an electronically stamped copy in a
couple hours or less.
Who can use "e-Recording"?
Title insurance companies, mortgage bankers, full service banks, attorneys and
other approved parties to record documents affecting the title to real property
in the respected county are eligible to record documents electronically.
What type of documents are eligible for "e-Recording"?
The type of documents available for e-Recording vary by county. Electronically recorded
instruments have not been fully embraced by large lenders. It is recommended that you
contact your investor to verify that they will accept electronically recorded instruments.
How much does "e-Recording" cost?
You can e-Record your documents for the cost of the County's filing fees plus
a $10 convenience fee. PeirsonPatterson, LLP will bill you monthly for all
filing fees and convenience charges for that month.
