Spanning over 1800 square miles, El Dorado County offers a variety of landscapes from foothills and valleys to majestic mountain scenery. El Dorado County's eastern boundary is formed along magnificent Lake Tahoe in the Sierra Nevada mountain range while Folsom Lake forms the county's western boundary in the Sacramento valley. In an attempt to preserve the natural landscapes and to provide a variety of recreational opportunities for El Dorado County residents, more than 50 percent of county land is managed and owned by the county government for both recreation facilities and wildlife preservations. Due to its geographic location, El Dorado County has a varied but moderate climate. On the western slope, the average monthly temperature ranges from 30-40 degrees in the winter while the region may experience an average of 75-95 degrees in the summer.

Real Estate Contracts >Signed Sealed and Delivered
Most people assume that when a real estate deed is signed, it is effective. However, there is one more essential part of the process. Even if a deed is properly executed, it is not effective until it has been delivered to and accepted by the buyer. This can sometimes create bizarre results. Here is an example.
An elderly man properly signed, sealed and acknowledged a deed to his nephew and placed it in an old tin box in his room, where it was discovered shortly after he died. The nephew lost a contest with other heirs over the property because the deed was not delivered, and therefore, was not effective at the time of the old man's death.
Until the deed is delivered, the title remains with the seller, who could change his mind at any time and destroy the deed. But once the deed has been properly delivered and accepted, the title passes and cannot be revoked. Thus the old, old saying: signed, sealed (and notarized) -- and delivered.
