What it is: Recovery, authentication, and formal re-issuance of lost, damaged, or missing land documents (CTC of R of O, C of O, etc.) including re-certification processes.
What we do:
Investigate the status of original documents with relevant land authorities.
Lodge official applications for Certified True Copies (CTC) and attend required hearings or verification sessions.
Assist with affidavit of loss, newspaper adverts (where required), and statutory paperwork to support re-issuance.
Facilitate re-certification processes where titles need updating due to change of name, family succession, or amendment.
How we work (process in brief): File of Loss/Verification → Supporting affidavits & paperwork → Official submission → Follow up & collection → Delivery of CTC or re-certified document.
Who benefits: Property owners who have lost original documents, estates undergoing succession, buyers ensuring continuity of title, and institutions requiring certified copies for financing.
