A new deed must be recorded any time you want to:
- Add/remove a name from title
- Place property into the ownership of a trust/business name
- Convey the property to a separate individual(s)
- Split/combine property
In addition to the requirements and fees of the Recorder's office and Assessor's office, these are the items that will be necessary for a deed to be approved by the Auditor's office:
- Correct names of the grantors/sellers, including how they hold title to the property
- Valid legal description of the property
- Signatures (notarized) of all the grantors/sellers
- Statement detailing where future tax bills should be mailed
- Cash/check (payable to the Hendricks County Auditor) in the amount of $10 per parcel being transferred
While it is possible to prepare and record a deed on your own, it is not recommended. This is a complicated legal process and utilizing a title company or attorney is in your own best interest.
