Before a deed will record
- First page: who prepared it ("Prepared by") and a "Record and return to" mailing address, the date of transfer, and the consideration (the price, even if it's $1).
- Legal description: in the deed or as an exhibit, with the correct block and lot. A wrong block or lot is one of the most common reasons a deed comes back.
- Signed and acknowledged: the grantor signs before a notary; the acknowledgment states the county and state.
- County cover sheet and the recording fee.
- Realty Transfer Fee forms: the seller generally owes the Realty Transfer Fee when the deed is recorded. A deed that claims an exemption needs Form RTF-1, and a deed over $1,000,000 needs Form RTF-1EE. Rates and exemptions are on the NJ Division of Taxation's realty transfer fee page.
Names spelled differently from the prior deed, a missing marital status, or a missing notary seal are the other usual rejections. Fix them before you send it; a returned deed costs days.
