I'm not completely sure what you are asking but I will offer this:

The Grant Deed from the grantor (seller) to the grantee (buyer) is the instrument by which you obtained title. The deed must be recorded in the land records (the County Recorder in California). Recording gives notice there is a new owner of the land. The Recorder makes a copy of the Grant Deed for the record and assigns it an identifying number (in the past it would be Book 1 of official records, page 1 but now most County Recorders use a Document number system, e.g. Document Number 2011-000001 of official records). Once the recorder is finished with the original copy, they mail it back to the person in the mail to space in the upper left (usually the grantee).

Therefore the Recorder's copy will be the same as the original. However, the Recorder never destroys a record. If, for example, you grant your property to someone else the new Grant Deed will get recorded and both will be in the records. The newest one in the records is usually the effective one except for other legal things that can happen beyond the scope of this post.

All of the Grant Deeds over time strung together on a given property is known as the chain of title; sometimes the sequence of grants over time becomes important in answering certain questions about the property.

No. Only you and the grantor know you own the property. You need to record your deed in the land records to notify the public that the land has a new owner. If someone records a lien against the record owner before you record your deed the land will be subject to that lien as long as your deed has not been duly recorded.No. Only you and the grantor know you own the property.

Can grant deed be reversed if it was signed after ther couple became divorced?

As long as a deed is technically valid and not executed by a person under some sort of legal incapacity, the deed takes affect and cannot be "called back". The grantee on that deed is the owner of the land. The grantor on that deed no longer owns the land and so has no power to do anything regarding the land that was conveyed.
