.GUIDELINES FOR FILING REAL ESTATE DOCUMENTS AND LIENS

USE A BLUE BALLPOINT PEN FOR SIGNATURES

1-When filing documents for recording, please leave 3 inches at the top of the first page of the document and 1 inch at the top of the following pages for recording purposes.

2- Documents containing more than 5 pages should be sent in a large manila envelope rather than "stuffed" into a regular, standard envelope.

3- A self addressed stamped envelope should be included with each document for returning.

4- When including a legal description, it should be clear, concise and the print should be large enough to be read when copied and/or scanned. Please do not include a faxed copy of the legal description as these are not clear and blurs when scanned.

5- Please included a contact number and return address on each document so if there are any questions during the recording process, we will be able to contact you regarding your document.
