New Requirements for Allegheny County Deeds
On June 1,
2010, the
Allegheny
County
Department
of Real
Estate is
implementing
the
following
changes:
-
All deeds
must have
TWO (2)
Certificates
of Residence
completed –
one for the
tax bill
mailing, and
one for the
owner. They
can be the
same address
if the owner
does not
have taxes
escrowed by
a lender. If
the owner
does not
reside at
the property
conveyed,
the owner's
actual
residence
address
should be
used. Click
here for
the forms.
The
Certificates
do not have
to be
signed.
-
All deeds
will be
"pre-certified"
before being
recorded.
The clerk
will check
the grantor
against the
grantee in
the last
deed of
record, and
verify that
the legal
description
is
"locate-able"
and matches
an existing
tax parcel.
Click
here for
the
Department
of Real
Estate's
memo.
For deeds in
ALL
counties,
please proof
the document
before you
send it for
recording.
If the
grantor is
not exactly
the grantee
in the prior
deed, make
sure the
discrepancy
is explained
in the deed:
also known
as, formerly
known as,
successor by
merger to,
attorney in
fact for,
executor of
the estate
of, etc.
Always
include a
recital.
Proof your
legal
description
for typos
and make
sure it
closes.
Include the
tax parcel
number.
Rejected
documents
are claims
waiting to
happen.
Please take
the time to
ensure that
the
documents
you present
will be
accepted and
timely
recorded.
