You would have to file it with an avidafit of death at your recorders office. _________________ Chris Gummerson Bay Valley Mortgage Group bayvalleymortgage.com 714-367-5125

As the deed is notarized, it will be considered as valid. I will suggest you to contact the county recorder's office immediately and record the deed. Feel free to ask if you've further queries.

Recording a deed is not required. _________________ Disclaimer: This is not legal advice and I am not your lawyer.
