Introduction to Memorials

A deed is registered in the Registry of Deeds by lodging the original deed together with a memorial of it.  A memorial is an abstract of the material parts of the deed.  It must contain the date of the deed, details of the party to the deed and details of the property affected.  When the deed has been endorsed with a serial number as a certificate of registration it is returned to the person who lodged it and the memorial, which is also endorsed with the same serial number, is retained in the Registry of Deeds as a permanent record of the deed to which it relates.
