I still don't have my official deed.
A couple months ago me and my fiancé purchased our first investment duplex property. It's going on 7 months and we still haven't got out official deed from our closing attorney office. The attorney doesn't know what happen to it and she says she mailed it out and that we should of received it but we didn't. She sent us a copy of the property deed and also a certified copy of the deed. She tells us that if you look up the property it's show that it belongs to us and a certified copy is just as good as a official copy. Is this something we should worry about ?

If the county has you as the recorded owner, then somewhere someway the deed was recorded. If you don't have the original, that is not a big deal. A certified copy is acceptable, as they have told you.
