Deed in Provo, Utah
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 Provo, deeds are recorded with the Utah County Recorder, and a HeritageDeed title search lists them for the property.
How Provo records it
Home loans in the Recorder's abstracts are almost all deeds of trust (trust deeds), released by a reconveyance. A secured lender that fails to release the security interest within 90 days after the final payment is liable to the owner (Utah Code 57-1-38), so a deed of trust with no release of record is still of 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.
