What is required for the recording of an Affidavit of Affixture?

The recording of an Affidavit of Affixture requires the surrender of the titles to the mobile home. This is a critical step in the process because when a mobile home is affixed to real property (such as land), it changes its status from personal property to real property. By surrendering the titles, the owner is voluntarily converting the mobile home into a permanent fixture on the land. This action aligns the ownership of the mobile home with the ownership of the real estate, allowing for proper taxation, financing, and conveyance processes associated with real property.

When the titles are surrendered, it also aids in ensuring that the mobile home is no longer treated as a vehicle and becomes subject to the regulations that govern real estate. This helps in establishing a clear and transparent record of ownership and interest in the property, enhancing the legal standing of the property for potential buyers or lenders in the future.
