Real Estate Recording

There are two real estate recording systems in Minnesota – Abstract and Torrens. There are different requirements for recording the documents in each system. “Recording” means the documents are reproduced and returned to the presenter. “Filing” means to keep the original document. Real estate documents are recorded. The document type (deed, mortgage, release, certificate) determines what the requirements are and what steps need to be taken.
