The Register of Deeds is an office established by the State Constitution. The primary function of this office is to make and preserve a record of instruments required or allowed by law to be filed or recorded. These instruments include but not limited to deeds, powers of attorney, deeds of trust, mortgages, leins, contracts, plats, leases, judgements, wills, court orders, military discharges, records under the Uniform Commercial Code (primarily fixture filings), and other types of documents. The records provide public notice of property ownership, leins, contracts, and other transactions that affect the public interest. 

The mission of the White County Register of Deeds office is to accurately and efficiently record all legal documents. To create a friendly environment to assist you with any concerns. Thank you for entrusting us with this important responsibility.
