§ 21114 Grant Execution And Recording

• •This law says that when you give someone else the rights to your land (like selling or gifting it), you have to follow the same rules as when you sell or give away any property.
• •You must sign the papers the right way, in front of the right people, and officially record it with the government so everyone knows the land now belongs to someone else.
• •It’s like when you sell a bike—you write your name, the buyer’s name, and maybe tell your parents or a teacher so everyone knows it’s no longer yours.

If you want to give your house to your kid when they grow up, you can’t just tell them it’s theirs.

You have to sign official papers in front of a notary (a person who makes sure it’s real), and then file those papers with the county so the government knows your kid is the new owner. If you don’t do this, the house might still seem like it’s yours, and that could cause problems later.
