Full Question:
Answer:
There are various motions that may be used in a lost deed scenario. In some cases, a Motion to Establish Lost Deed is filed. In some cases, a Complaint to Quiet or Confirm Title is filed. It is possible to combine both petitions, as in the case at the link below:

It is possible to file the forms yourself, but it is advisable to seek the assistance of an attorney who is familiar with the complexities of the law and court procedures. After filing a pleading in court, a date for a hearing will be set. The timeframe involved will depend on the caseload of the court's docket, which varies by court. I suggest calling the clerk of courts to inquire about time frames involved.
