What happens if you lose your original deed to your home?

Once you purchase a home, the title company or attorney that closed the transaction will record your deed in the public record of the county where the property is located. After recording the deed, the title company or attorney will send you your original deed by mail. You should keep the original deed in a safe place. But what happens if you lose your original deed?

Don’t worry if you lost the original deed to your home. You can obtain a certified copy of your recorded deed from the County recorder. A certified copy of your recorded deed generally has the same legal significance of your original deed.
