Get startedWhat is a Mother Deed?
In Karnataka, a mother deed (or mother title deed) is the earliest registered document in a property's chain of title, traced through the jurisdictional Sub-Registrar and, for older properties, Collector's office records under the Department of Stamps and Registration.
A mother deed, also called a mother title deed, is the original parent document that traces your property's ownership lineage from its very first registered transfer. Think of it as your property's DNA; every subsequent sale, gift, or inheritance stems from this foundational mother deed document. Understanding mother deed in property transactions is essential, because without it, your entire ownership chain lacks a verifiable starting point.
