| Frequently Asked Questions: How do I add or change a name on my deed? The only way to change or add a name to a deed is by having a new deed prepared. We cannot do this for you and suggest that you consult an attorney to assist you in preparing the document. The Registry does NOT have blank forms. I need a copy of my deed. You can obtain a copy online by using the AVA Free Public Search using a debit/credit card. Copies are $2.00 per page and most deeds are 2-3 pages. If you prefer to come into our office we can print a copy for $1.00 per page. We only accept CASH or CHECK. How do I find a plan of my land? Not all deeds have plans that accompany them. If you property is part of a subdivision, a plan is probably available and we will help you locate it. If a former owner had the property surveyed, we will show you how to use the plan index to locate it. We do not record Plot Plans. I have paid off my mortgage will the Registry send me my deed? NO, when you purchase property you are given the deed. The deed is recorded along with a mortgage. These are separate documents and recorded separately. The recorded mortgage is a lien against the property and once the mortgage is paid off a release/discharge is to be recorded to release the lien. The mortgagee either sends the release/discharge directly to the Registry for recording or to the mortgagor to have it recorded. If have misplaced your deed you can obtain an official recorded copy at the Registry. I want to know who owns a piece of property. All records in the Registry are indexed by owners’ name, not a property address. You must have a name and if not, then you should contact the city/town assessor or the tax collector where the property is located. They will have the property owners’ name listed for that property.
