Not only is it the law, but doing so will help the county recorders' offices to reduce the time it takes to complete the recording procedure, preserve the integrity of our real estate records, and ensure that our records are recorded in a legible retrievable form... AND it will help to reduce the possibility of a rejected recording package! Thank you for your efforts.
