When the submission for recording is approvedan email is sent to the title company with the instrumentnumber, escrow number, date and time of recording. 5. Afterreceiving that email the title company can inform all parties tothe transaction that the sale has "closed". Those documents are now a matter of public record. When adocument is recorded it gives "constructive" notice to the worldthat a certain act has occurred. Any one with a claim orinterest in the indicated real property will now be bound by theaction represented by the recorded document. It can only bechallenged by legal action. The public can easily access the records in the database by thecomputer terminals located in the offices of the countyrecorder. In many counties those records are now available toeveryone through the internet. In those counties you can viewthe records from your office or home computer.

In a real estate transaction the deed is recorded, but it israre that any of the other documents related to the transactionwill be placed in the public record. Computers have truly opened public records to the public. Atleast to those members of the public who will apply the fewminutes needed to learn how easy it is to review the records.
