How Do I Obtain Copies?
NOTE: Our office does not retain original documents. Once recorded, the original document is returned as per filer instructions. Original deeds are generally given to the grantee at settlement. Often times the deed is included in a packet of material with title insurance and usually begins with "This Indenture . . .".
