Deed in Gulf Shores, Alabama
A deed transfers ownership of real property from the grantor to the grantee. Recording it gives public notice of the transfer, and in most states the order of recording decides who wins between competing buyers. In Gulf Shores, deeds are recorded with the Baldwin County Probate Judge, and a HeritageDeed title search lists them for the property.
How Gulf Shores records it
In Alabama, deeds, mortgages and their releases are recorded with the county Probate Judge. An unrecorded conveyance is void against a purchaser for value or a judgment creditor without notice (Ala. Code § 35-4-90), so the instrument counts from the time it is filed for record.
What it means for a buyer or bidder
The last recorded deed names the owner of record and how they hold title; a title search follows the chain of deeds back from it.
