The grantee is responsible for the recordation of a deed. Once a deed has been executed, it is the grantee's responsibility to ensure that the deed is recorded with the appropriate local government authority, typically the county recorder's office. This recording is crucial as it provides public notice of the grantee's interest in the property and helps establish a clear chain of title.

While the grantor (the person transferring the property) executes the deed, the act of recording it is primarily in the hands of the grantee to confirm their ownership and protect against future claims. Recording a deed helps prevent disputes regarding ownership by making the transaction a matter of public record.

The lender and vendor are typically not involved in the recording process; the lender may have interests in the property through a mortgage, and the vendor usually refers to a seller in specific transaction contexts. Therefore, in the context of deed recordation, the grantee holds that responsibility.
