Do I need a certified copy of my deed? That question has risen to the forefront in recent days. There are companies that suggest that property owners obtain a “certified copy” of their deed, and offer to provide that service for you. Property owners need not incur such an exorbitant expense for what the Registers of Deeds across Kansas stand ready to provide at a minimal cost. The average cost being around $1.50, including certification. These service companies are usually not federally sponsored or otherwise related to any governmental offices even though they may sound like it. The Kansas Register of Deeds Association urges consumers to contact their County Register of Deeds if they need this service. After all, that is one of the reasons we are in office as your “record keepers” of real estate related maters. UNLAWFUL USE OF NAMES DERIVED FROM PUBLIC RECORDS KSA 45-230 states in part, “(a) No person shall knowingly sell, give or receive, for the purpose of selling or offering for sale any property or service to persons listed therein, any list of names and addresses contained in or derived from public records…….” Thank you for letting us serve you.
