Title Deed - Where to store it?

[richwang]

If you have received your title deed, where should you store it?

1) Home;
2) Safe deposit box at CICSO;
3) With Lawyer;
4) ...

If you lost your title deed, can you ask SLA to re-issue it?
If yes, how much it will cost?

Thanks,
Richard

Wow, TS..... you have subtly asked how many of us have cleared our housing loan.
Keep in the safe.
Good idea about storing in the cloud.
PDF is as good as original, right?

Replacing it will cost a few thousand dollars, i was told.

That's a good idea! Provided my pets don't dig it up.
But the problem is I am not in a landed yet and to get hold of the landed title deed will probably take many years.

Just received a letter from HDB. You can either safekeep it yourself or the Legal Department will safekeep it on your behalf.

[carbuncle]

Make a copy and get the strata agency to certify thru copy.(they do that for a small fee)
Keep one in safe , other keep at home.

For hdb it's advisable to leave it with legal dept at hdb hub. When u decided to sell the flat it's more convenient too, save the hassle searching it.

Just keep them in drawer at home. SLA already has record of them. Make multiple hardcopies and even keep softcopy of them in yahoo, gmail, cloud,etc if this makes you feel more comfortable.

die.........hubby redeemed the HL that day but now I can't remember where we put the title deeds. It's certainly not in the safe deposit box coz we haven't gone there for ages.....jialat......

[maisonjai]

For LH ppty the title deed is just air space. According to mr goh "They’re buying air!"
The master title deed for LH land is SLA forever...kekeke

[DC33_2008]

So the best is to hold FH landed title deeds.

In a way yes, once a lao jiao told me this, his dad passed on 20yrs ago & left the land to him. In 10~15yrs his time will come & pass on to his children. His exact words "my name is only 'temporary owner' of the land."
I was speechless for a moment.
