How property deeds are recorded in Massachusetts

Massachusetts records property documents through the Register of Deeds; the quitclaim deed is the customary deed of conveyance. That means when a Massachusetts property changes hands — through a sale, gift, inheritance, or refinance — the deed is filed with the Register of Deeds, where it becomes part of the public record.

The most common document types recorded under Massachusetts law include Quitclaim Deed, Warranty Deed, Mortgage, and Discharge. DeedNow returns the most recent recorded deed of conveyance for whichever Massachusetts address you search.

What's recorded with the Register of Deeds

The Register of Deeds office in each Massachusetts county maintains the official index of real-property documents. Each recorded Massachusetts deed typically includes:

Grantor and grantee: who's transferring title and who's receiving it.
Legal description: the platted lot and block, metes and bounds, or recorded subdivision reference for the parcel.
Consideration: the price or other consideration paid, where Massachusetts law requires it on the face of the document.
Recording stamp: the book/page or instrument number assigned by the Register of Deeds when the document was filed.
Notary acknowledgment: the notarized signature block that makes the deed eligible for recording in Massachusetts.
