I have to request a copy of my wife's deed to her house from her lawyer. Do I need to use a form?My wife's house is marital property and her lawyer said I have to write a request for the deed. Does this require a standardized form? I am trying to do this pro se as I can't afford an attorney. Thank you. Attorney answers (1)
It is doubtful there is any form for this purpose. Howver, deeds are normally recorded on the public record, which these days are available on the Internet.
The web site http://www.publicrecords.com/new-york-Public-Re... containls links to Clerks and Recorders offices throughout the US, including the counties of New York. You can probably find the deed recorded there, including an actual image of the deed that you can print right then and there. I just did a test, and had no problem finding a deed, bringing up an image and printing it.
