<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;color:#002060">For routine documents to be recorded such as a quitclaim deed or deed of trust, I have always included what I will call a "table summary" on the first page that
looks something like this:<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left:.5in"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;color:#002060;mso-ligatures:none"><img width="425" height="147" style="width:4.427in;height:1.5312in" id="Picture_x0020_1" src="cid:image003.png@01DB2AB8.0A21D4E0"></span><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;color:#002060"><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;color:#002060">Then, in the language that follows, I identify the parties again and either insert the full legal description or refer to an Exhibit A that contains the full legal
description. I would like to think the use of a table summary like the one above helps the recording office index the document more efficiently.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;color:#002060"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;color:#002060">However, if the body of the document on the first page identifies the full names of the parties and contains the full legal description (without reference to an
exhibit) and the affected parcel number(s), is there any requirement or need to have such a table summary at all?<o:p></o:p></span></p>
