The deed is normally signed by the seller and notarized at the closing. The original deed is recorded following the closing, and the recorder sends the original deed to you after it is recorded. If you lose the original, you can get a certified copy from the recorder, which legally is as good as an original.
The entire process of clearing a property's title takes roughly two weeks. But this can vary drastically depending on your transaction and property type. It is best to contact your escrow or title officer and realtor to get accurate, up-to-date information on your specific property's timeline.
Closing is the final step in the homebuying process in which the mortgage becomes official and the title is transferred to new owners. A closing agent, usually an attorney or official from a title or mortgage company, oversees the closing process, which takes place at a title company or escrow office.
