A Grantor-Grantee Index is a type of property record system used by county clerks or recorders to organize and track property transactions within a specific geographic area. In this index, land records are arranged alphabetically by the names of both the grantors (sellers) and grantees (buyers) involved in the property transactions. Each entry typically includes details such as the names of the parties, the date of the transaction, a description of the property, and any associated documents, such as deeds or mortgages. The index serves as a valuable tool for conducting title searches, investigating property ownership history, and ensuring the legal validity of property transfers.
