1. Can you change / add / delete a name on my deed for me?

No. A new deed must be created in order to make any changes. Please consult an attorney.

2. Do you send my deed once my home is paid off?

No. A deed is for the property. Deed should have been received after time of settlement. Copies of the deed may be obtained at any time.

3. How do I know if my mortgage is paid off?

The lender will submit a satisfaction piece to be recorded, which explains the mortgage is paid in full. The mortgage company may or may not send you a copy of that document- it is their discretion. You do not receive a deed when the mortgage is paid off, the deed should have already been received when first purchased.

If you own the land that the mobile home is on, yes. If not, then no. Please contact the Pennsylvania Department of Transportation for a title to your mobile home.

5. If a house is erected on my property, do I receive a new deed?

No, the deed is for property only. Anything built upon the property is that of the property owners.
