While California does not require grant deeds to be recorded, almost all of them are in order to protect the grantee from any later transfer of the same property. As long as the grant deed is recorded, any potential purchaser would be on notice of the earlier sale to a new owner.

Researching property owners in California appears simple with so many public records available. Looking up property deeds and tax records in every county only require the property address. Many California counties make this information available online.

The deed must be signed by the party or parties making the conveyance or grant; and 7. It must be delivered and accepted. Contrary to the law and established custom in other states, the expression ?to have and to hold? (called the ?habendum clause? of a deed) is not necessary, nor are witnesses or seal required.

The California TOD deed form allows property to be automatically transferred to a new owner when the current owner dies, without the need to go through probate. It also gives the current owner retained control over the property, including the right to change his or her mind about the transfer.

Typically, California property records are under the local county recorder's purview. However, the public can find property records at the county clerk's office in some instances. Also, property tax records are typically available at the local tax assessor's office.
