Closing documents - sharing with 3rd parties

[Yuri Chernousko]

I recently finished a small cash deal and received my closing documents including the HUD statement and the warranty deed. I am talking to a property manager and a utilities company, and both want to see the HUD document. I understand that this may be a way for them to be certain that the house belongs to me.

However, this made me think of the question: what should not be shared? The warranty deed is a public document, so I am guessing it is ok. The HUD statement contains information about me and all the financial of the transaction, and I don't feel certain about sharing it.

Any advice?

- What should and should not be shared? HUD statement, warranty deed, anything else?

- What other types of proof do you use with 3rd parties for ownership verification purposes?

Thank you.
