A sleeping deed to my knowledge is a certificate that has been left in limbo regarding ownership. The owners have possibly passed away and had done nothing to ensure that the property was passed on to relatives or next of kin. Perhaps they had none. To claim the property you will need proof to show your rightful ownership otherwise the property will be taken by the Crown. It could take a lot of money and a few years to settle.
