In California, searching for grant deed information is done at the county recorder's office. Real estate records are located in local government offices that record real estate transactions, such as sales, refinances and other transfers.. Check the government office website, if available, for information regarding a search of the grantor-grantee index for real estate records. In some cases, such as in San Francisco and San Diego counties, this information is available online.
If you give a signed deed to the grantee, that's a valid title transfer. The grantee doesn't need to sign, and you don't need witnesses. To get it down in the county records that you're no longer the owner, you have more paperwork ahead. Take the deed to a notary and sign it there, then have the notary place her signature and seal on the document. Under a 2013 law, she has to get your thumbprint in her record book as well.
