When my wife and I sold a house decades ago, a copy of the deed ended up lying on the kitchen floor as she was packing boxes of things when we were moving. A neighbor who was in the house talking to my wife was horrified that the deed to our home that we were selling was lying on the floor and people were walking on it. In her mind, she thought that if you had the deed you owned the house by merely possessing the deed. I sold real estate at the time, and I thought that was actually quite funny people believe this, they have no clue. Talk to your lawyer they will give you the best advice you’re ever going to get.
