Under Colorado recording law, which of the following is NOT required for a deed to be eligible for recording with the county clerk and recorder?

Correct Answer

C) The deed must be witnessed by two disinterested parties in addition to notarization

Colorado does not require two disinterested witnesses for a deed to be eligible for recording. Under C.R.S. § 38-35-106, a deed must be acknowledged (notarized) to be recorded, but Colorado law does not impose a separate two-witness requirement in addition to notarization. Some other states (such as Georgia and Florida) require witnesses, but Colorado is not among them. The notary acknowledgment alone satisfies the authentication requirement.

Answer Options
A
The deed must be acknowledged before a notary public or other authorized officer
B
The deed must contain the legal description of the property being conveyed
C
The deed must be witnessed by two disinterested parties in addition to notarization
D
The deed must identify the grantor and grantee with sufficient certainty
