Recording of Conveyances

N.Y. Real Property Law § 291

New York Real Property Law § 291 allows a duly acknowledged or proved conveyance of real property to be recorded in the office of the clerk of the county where the property is situated, and provides that an unrecorded conveyance is void against a subsequent good-faith purchaser for valuable consideration whose conveyance is first duly recorded. In Nassau County the recording officer is the County Clerk (Mineola), whose office records deeds, mortgages, mortgage satisfactions, and assignments to provide constructive notice and protect the rights of interested parties.
