Did you buy title insurance? If so, you should get the insurance policy. The policy is valid for life. The paper warranty deed is basically worthless. You need to verify with the county records office that the deed was properly recorded. You can view and print a copy of the official warranty deed from the county website. You should also get a copy of the property plat that shows the property lines and easements. For the mailbox, you should get 3 keys, or the seller should pay you $35 for the cost of getting a new lock from the Post Office. I wouldn't worry about the seller providing a home warranty because they are usually worthless. I would recommend changing the locks in the house, and changing the garage door code.
