If Your Deed Is Not Recorded, the Property Could Be Sold Out From Under You (and Other Scary Scenarios) In practical terms, failure to have your property deed recorded would mean that, if you ever wanted to sell, refinance your mortgage, or execute a home equity line of credit (HELOC), you could not do so.

Not recording a deed can cause problems for the grantee. They may be unable to obtain a mortgage, insure the property, or sell it.
