NASHVILLE, Tenn. (WTVF) — For homeowners with damaged or destroyed houses, the Davidson County Register of Deeds office is now extending help for those who need vital property records.

Property deeds are needed to file claims for insurance, mortgage or government disaster assistance.

" Our office is, at no cost, providing residents with deeds and other documents they need as they apply for relief from Saturday's catastrophic storms," said Register of Deeds Karen Johnson. "Unfortunately, some may have lost important documents amid the storm's devastation, and that is paperwork that they'll need when filing claims."

The Register of Deeds office is by phone, email, mobile app, and in person to meet the needs of those who suffered damage.

The skies were closed on 9/11. A Nashville phone call helped save a baby’s life

September 11, 2001 is a day most associate with terror and tragedy. Austin Pollack shares a story from that day about hope and persistence: the effort to save a little girl’s life – with an organ donation. The problem? The young patient was in Houston, and her life-saving liver here in Nashville. With the grounding of all civilian aircraft, how could it be done? “Nobody ever said this isn’t possible.”
