necessity of recording deeds/witnesses

Posted on: 28th Apr, 2010 06:56 pm
I am selling property myself - junk lots that have been in my family since the civil war - on behalf of the dozen or so heirs. I have a lot of trouble getting them to get their signatures notarized, and getting witnesses. Plus the cost to file the signed deeds is over $100 because there are so many grantors. I read on this site that you don't have to fiile a deed in order for it to be valid. Is that true, even in Louisiana? If so, why do you even have to have your signature notarized and/or witnessed?
Hi kiki_hummel!

Welcome to forums!

As far as I know, you will have to file the deed at the county recorder's office in order to make it valid. Unless the deed is recorded, it will not be considered as legal.
