Then a simple call to your local title co would get you an answer. See if a doc in a foreign language is heeded at all by the title ins. co, and if so, how do they handle the issue.

I’m not sure if it is politically correct to describe ‘Spanish’ as a foreign laguage these day. anyway…

I have been doing my own title searches for years, and have never seen a recorded document in any language other than English. Yet, I can think of no law that prohibits this. Do you know of any such law or legal principle regarding this? I might just prepare a Deed in Spanish and try to record it just to see what happens.

Just curious, why would this subject even come up?

Ask any recorder anywhere and you’ll quickly learn what CCC’s (or the law anywhere) say about other language.

interesting question esp. here in CA. I wonder if there is a rule or law burried somewhere.

I did that. About an hour later someone called me back and sited a Statute#. But the Statute she sited specifically refers to “Deeds executed in a Foreign Country”. Not Deeds executed locally, but in Spanish. I called back and left a message but haven’t heard back. And hence, I posted the question here.
