MANDATORY COVER SHEET REQUIREMENTS FOR RECORDING LAND RECORDS Pursuant to Code of Virginia § 17.1-227.1 ,, any County Circuit Clerk’s Office may exercise the option to require a Land Records Cover Sheet for all documents recorded in the Deed Book. In practice, data contained on Cover Sheets is converted by a software program into bar codes which are scanned via bar code readers, thereby allowing instruments to be recorded more timely and accurately. To create the required Cover Sheet, users must access Cover Sheet software made available at the following web site: CSA Online website . Documents that do not include a Cover Sheet with all information accurately listed will be returned to the presenting party so that a corrected Cover Sheet may be prepared. Questions related to procedures should be directed to the local Clerk’s Office. To determine if the Clerk in the County where the property is located requires a cover sheet, you will need to contact the Clerk's office. III. SELF-ADDRESSED STAMPED ENVELOPE TO ACCOMPANY THE DEED WHEN RECORDING: The Clerk's Office will require a SASE if you want the deed returned by mail after recording is done. If a SASE is not provided, the recorded instrument will have to be picked up at the Clerk's office. IV. IF A DESIGNATED BENEFICIARY FAILS TO SURVIVE THE TRANSFEROR / OWNERS: If the transferor / owner has identified two or more designated beneficiaries to receive concurrent interests in the property, the share of one that lapses or fails for any reason is transferred to the other, or to the others in proportion to the interest of each in the remaining part of the property held concurrently. For example: Deed providing - A and B to C, D, and E upon their deaths.
