How to Keep Your Original Copy of Land Title Safe and Secure?

The Land Registration Authority has a new alternative in keeping original land titles secure. This
is through the Voluntary Title Standardization Program which allows you to convert your
physical land title to an “e-Title.” The land titles are stored in its electronic original form which
is backed up regularly. In cases of fire or any natural disaster in the Registry, the owners now
have an easier option of title reconstitution.

Another option is to keep the copy of the original land title via an SDB (Safety Deposit Box) in a
bank that is not that far nor that near from your home and situated in a high location. This will
ensure any owner the safety of their legal documents considering the security at the bank and its
flood-free location.

Though some owners would opt to have their own vault for their important documents, there is
no assurance in keeping them all safe and dry when a fire breaks out or during a flood. If you
would still go for this option, the documents must be tightly sealed in a container that’s both
fireproof and waterproof.  

The original copy of a land title is very important even if you have made several duplicates.
Securing it the best way you can lessen all the inconveniences you’ll encounter when having it
replaced or reconstituted. For property owners who do not have the luxury of time to process the
replacement of a lost land title, they can seek for assistance from companies offering services
when it comes to reconstitution and reissuance of a land title.
