Can the Register of Deeds prepare or help prepare a deed?
: No. A deed is a legal document establishing property ownership, please consult an attorney Question: Does your office furnish me with the title to my home after I have paid off the mortgage? Answer: The document that shows you own your property is called a deed. Your deed was recorded in our office when you originally purchased the property. We do not keep the original deed in our possession until you pay off the mortgage. The original document was given or mailed back to whoever delivered it to us when it was recorded. You may obtain a copy of the deed from our office at any time. Question: Where can I find someone to provide me with a title search on my property? Answer: There are several Title Companies listed in the local Yellow Pages that specialize in real estate transactions. Many of these companies have offices in several cities, so even if you don’t live in Nashville, they can, in many cases, provide you with title searches for a fee. Many attorneys also offer this service.
