important of these documents is perhaps the original copy of your land title. Many experts agree that
Many Filipinos who have lost their Owners Copy of Land Title do not have an idea on what steps to take
or where to start. They often delay their application for the issuance of a new original copy, as many of
them assume that everything will be alright as long as they are residing in the property with the lost title.
For example, if fraudulent persons discover that you have lost your owners copy, they could deceive
unsuspecting buyers into buying your property by posing as owners. In addition, if you plan to sell your
property, having the original copy of the land title with you is crucial, as the Title Transfer cannot take
