What generally needs to be recorded with a deed for it to be enforceable?

For a deed to be enforceable, it typically requires the presence of witness signatures and verification by a notary public. This process adds a layer of authenticity and legal acknowledgment to the transaction. Witness signatures help establish that the signing parties were present and agreed to the terms of the deed, while notary public verification provides an impartial confirmation that the signatures are genuine and that the individuals involved were indeed who they claimed to be. This combination enhances the legal standing of the deed, making it more difficult for any disputes regarding authenticity or consent to arise in the future.

The other options do not fulfill the requirements that directly contribute to a deed's legal enforceability. For example, the seller's license number is not a requirement for the deed itself; it pertains more to the professional credentials of the person selling the property. Buyer financial statements are related to the buyer's ability to purchase but do not affect the deed's enforceability. Lastly, proof of property inspection may be important for the transaction but is not a legal requirement that affects the deed's enforceability.
