WHEN ORIGINAL OF WRITING ONCE RECORDED IS LOST, HOW COPY RECORDED ELSEWHERE (§
55.1-607)

If it is proper for any writing that has been recorded in a court of any county
or city to be recorded in the court of another county or city and such writing,
before being so recorded in such other court, is lost or mislaid, on affidavit
of this fact, such court or the clerk of such court may record a copy of such
writing from the records of another court, certified by its clerk, and the copy
so recorded shall have the same effect as if the original had been recorded at
the time the copy was recorded.
