Actually, your original deed is returned to the person who presented it for recording at the time of recording. Even if you have a mortgage, secondary mortgage, or home equity loan outstanding on your home, you are still the owner of the property. You don ’t get a new deed issued to you when you pay off a loan; your deed at time of purchase is still your deed.
