DEED SCAM
Be aware and save yourself some money. Some companies pressure homebuyers into purchasing a certified copy of their property deed and charging them as much as $100, according to Consumer Reports.
If you need a copy of your property deed, you can always either go to your local county’s clerk of courts office or if they have a web site. You can search the public records and make a copy of the deed.  Just as a reminder, always keep the recorded deed as well as your owner’s title insurance policy in a safe place - one suggestion is your safe deposit box at your local bank.

Got something to say?
It’s especially important to keep your owner title policy in a safe place. Title underwriters have no good way of tracking policies or searching records for their insured. Unless you provide proof of insurance, a claim is hard to file.
