In the United States, deed recording is a fundamental legal requirement for establishing property ownership and is typically handled at the county or municipal level. In Brazil, this process is managed through the cartório de imóveis (property registry office), which is a notarial office that maintains all property records. Recording protects buyers by creating a public record of ownership and establishing priority in case of conflicting claims.
