After registration the transfer documents (including the title deed) are microfilmed by the Deeds Office and thereafter they are released to the transferring attorneys. If there is a bond registered over the property the transferring attorneys will hand the original title deed to the bond attorneys who will then deliver same to the bank. The bank will hold onto the original title deed until the bond is cancelled. If no bond is registered over the property the transferring attorneys will hand the original title deed to the new owner thereof for safe keeping.
