Got questions?

We have answers to the most popular questions from our customers. If you can't find an answer to your question, please contact us.

Can you sell a house without the original deed?

No, as long as it has been recorded. Deeds are recorded by the county recorder of deeds and are a matter of public record. When you sell your property, your attorney or the closing company will pull your deed from the county recorder of deeds records.

What happens if the deed to your house is stolen?

If someone steals your property title, you will need to go to court to invalidate any transfers or loans the thieves took out in your name. This can take a long time and be very expensive, especially if you dont have an owners title insurance policy that covers these costs.

How do I get a copy of a property deed?

Here are the 5 steps to finding and obtaining the deed to your house: Check Online. Contact the County Recorders Office. Request the Deed by Mail. Pay any associated Fees. Wait to receive the deed by mail.

What if I lost my original deed?

The deed, when recorded, became a permanent part of the County property records. If you should lose your original deed, you may obtain a certified copy of your deed from the County Recorder in which the land is located. A county certified copy can be used in the place of the original.

What happens if I lose the deed to my house?

If you lose the paper deed for your home, you can reach out to the title company you used when you bought it. They can often provide a copy for free or low cost for making copies.

Can my ex sell the house if my name is on the deed?

However, in a community property state (like California) and even some states without community property laws a home purchased during the marriage is considered marital property, regardless of whose name appears on the deed.
