You *do* have a deed, and it is recorded in the county recorder's office. It may even be available on the recorder's web site, depending upon the county. You can go to the county recorder's office in person and ask how to get a copy of your deed. They most probably will help you find it. There will be a modest charge to photocopy it. Get a copy. Then make one to keep, and send the other copy to your attorney.
