Deed in Dover, Delaware
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 Dover, deeds are recorded with the Kent County Recorder of Deeds, and a HeritageDeed title search lists them for the property.
