Make Notes On Legal Maine Deed Forms For Free

Maine law recognizes several types of deeds for transferring real estate. A Maine quitclaim deed without covenant is a type of deed that transfers all of the signer's rights in Maine real estate with no warranty of title. The new owner receives the entire interest the transferor can legally transfer.

Deeds must have the name of the grantor and grantee as well as consideration paid for the property. In addition, a legal description of the property is required. A notary or an officer of the court, such as an attorney or court clerk, must sign an acknowledgment before the deed may be filed with the registry of deeds.

Maine deeds are recorded with the register of deeds for the county where the property is located. One of Maine's counties?Aroostook County?has northern and southern registries. In most counties, the register of deeds' recording fee is $22.00 for a deed's first page, plus $3.00 for each additional page.

The only way to add or remove a name on a deed is to have a new deed recorded. Once a document is recorded, it cannot be altered. In order to protect your legal interests, we strongly suggest that you contact an attorney to have this done for you.

The fee for recording a document is $22 for the first page -this includes a $3 surcharge (Maine Government & municipalities are exempt from surcharge, so the first page is $19) and $2 for each additional page.

A deed is a document that transfers the title to property from one owner to another. It describes the property being transferred and names all parties to the transaction. It is signed by all parties and is filed on the official record.
