Print Legal West Virginia Contract For Deed Forms For Free

The County Clerk's Office records and maintains County records such as: deeds, leases, right of ways, plats, wills, deed of trusts, mortgages, releases, judgments, liens, abstracts, assignments, oath of office, power of attorneys, church trustees, bonds and DD-214- Military discharge.

West Virginia has legalized TOD deeds by enacting the WV Real Property Transfer on Death Act. Previously, a property owner would most likely have named a beneficiary by creating a life estate with a remainder interest, a more complicated option usually involving a property lawyer.

The current owner transferring property must sign a West Virginia deed. The county clerk cannot record an unsigned deed. An agent acting under power of attorney can sign a deed on the owner's behalf if the owner has signed a power-of-attorney agreement giving the agent authority.

You may obtain the deed book and page number by searching for the document in the Court Public Access Network (?CPAN?) on one of the public computers in the Land Records Research Room or through a subscription. Subscribers to CPAN are able to make non-certified copies from their own computer.

Locate your own West Virginia recorded deeds, plats, and more filed with your county clerk or your property filed by your sheriff's tax office.
