The title deed is in fact in your name. A title deed is a legal document which is used to prove ownership of a piece of property. Any restrictive conditions or clauses will have to be registered in the Deeds Office. The title deed is stamped by the Registrar and a clause added stating the amount of the bond registered and the mortgagor's name.
