My document was rejected for recording

Recorders reject submissions for wrong legal description, missing notary wording, or improper margins. Confirm county requirements and correct the legal description or acknowledgement before resubmitting.

What if a signer’s name differs

If a signer’s name on ID differs from the contract, obtain an affidavit of name discrepancy or re-execute the document with the exact legal name to avoid title issues.

Yes when ESIGN (15 U.S.C. ch. 96) and state law permit electronic records; exceptions like wills and certain court filings may not be eligible for e-signature.

Do I need a notary or witnesses

Most deeds require a notary acknowledgement; some states also require witnesses. Check local recorder rules and state statutes before execution.

How to fix a missing signature

If a signature is missing, obtain a corrective signature page or an affidavit of correction signed and notarized, and attach it to the original document.

Which retention period applies

Follow federal minimums (IRS three years) and industry rules; real estate files are often retained 7–10 years. Consult counsel for state-specific holds.
