Register of Deeds: Eleanor Bradshaw
The Register of Deeds is the official custodian of records
for the citizens of Sampson County. The office records all deeds, deeds of
trust, powers of attorney, corporation charters, businesses under assumed
names, right-of-way agreements, easements, contracts, requests for notice of
sale, fixture filings of real property under the Uniform Commercial Code
(UCC), or any instrument that has been properly notarized. The office also
maintains and issues copies of vital records such as marriage licenses, birth
and death certificates, as well as legitimatizations of births out of
wedlock, and military discharges. The Register of Deeds office administers
Notary Public oaths.
The Register of Deeds is an elected official who serves a
four-year term of office.
Hours of Operation
The Register of Deeds Office is open to the general public
from 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. each weekday, excluding holidays observed by
Sampson County Local Government.
Records Search
The Register of Deeds maintains several indices by which
records can be located – deeds by seller’s or mortgagor’s name, buyer’s or
mortgager’s name; plats by individual or subdivision name, corporations by
name, powers of attorney by name, and fixture filings by grantor/grantee. The
Register of Deeds staff will be happy to assist you with your search.
Preparation of a Legal Document/Legal Advice
The Register of Deeds is a recording agency only. North
Carolina General Statutes prohibit Registers of Deeds from practicing law or
giving legal advice (such as authoring deeds, determining clear title, or
answering legal questions concerning liens or deeds).
