It would be total chaos and you would be able to keep whatever you're able to hold on to by means of violence. Eventually things would settle down and communities would spring back up but it's going to be many bloody years down the road.

The answer is held in the term "continuity of government." If that exists, then legal claims still hold up
(though they may get modified by legislation, like student loans getting dismissed do.) Nearly every time a country experiences a revolution or major change in government, one of the first things they do is pass a law recognizing continuity of government. Without it, all claims of titles on property, etc go away and continuing operations would be nearly impossible (no one is going to invest/support infrastructure if the lose ownership.) It'd take quite the war to wipe out every county recorder in the US. I could see some areas so obliterated that property is meaningless, though. Economies will be duly fucked regardless with an all out nuclear war, presumably they'd revert to local bartering among survivors. |

In a full on nuclear exchange the definition of government could shift. Is there a US government? Probably. Do they have the ability to project power across the entire continent and hold onto land? Maybe not. Authority with no ability to enforce compliance is not a government in the traditional sense of the word. |

Your credit rating won't matter much in a large scale conflict. food, water, medicine & ammo will have value, not much else will. After fallout kicks in it will only take a couple weeks for us to be "reset" into midevil times. hunger, disease & death... Fun times. |

Long before we amassed so much redundant digital storage, there were, and probably still are, disused coal mines in Central PA stuffed with, among many other things, lenders’ deed records.

No. Global Thermo-Nuclear War is not coming to save you from your bad decisions.
You think the Banks don’t have multiple backups? OTOH, hyperinflation would make your loans very easy to pay off, If you have income, and If they don’t revalue the loans in New Dollars. (Eventually, they would) |

Mixed bag.
In the big cities - property tax records, liens, title records at those courthouse would most likely be destroyed - as would those properties. Out away from the targets, your typical small county courthouse / tax office isn't a nuclear weapon worthy target, thus those records would most likely still exist. I doubt Chase Manhattan bank will have a mortgage loan service department still in existence (financial or physical). But local lenders / tax authority may still expect local properties to continue paying Or a "National Freeze" for some period T.B.D. most likely would be announced by a Continuity of Government agency until things either "stabilized" or fell completely apart.

Quote HistoryQuoted: I think farmland would be toast, as would all surviving cattle, hogs, etc. They’d be unsafe to eat. Deaths due to cancer caused by radiation would skyrocket, but people will eat what they cqn find and risk death rather than starve to death for certain. Our current standards of safety wouldn't exist any more. If the food resulted in the short term death of 50%, it would be considered good to eat. Maybe enough of the surviving 50% last long enough to reproduce, and maybe some of that generation get to rule what is left of the world. There will probably be pockets of survivors in isolated areas that will survive, in very desparate conditions. The old fiat debts of the ancien regime will not be collected, but most of those debtors will not survive. |

And what are those computers powered by? The electric grid will be gone. Diesel fuel will be gone. Gasoline will be gone. Who will be left to go into those caves to get records? Sure, there will be survivors, but those who are still alive aren’t going to be concerned with who owed what before the missiles were launched. It’s going to be everyone for themselves. We’re not talking about getting hit with a few 15 kiloton “Little Boys” like Hiroshima. This will be thousands of hits from devices that range into the megatons. Cities will be gone. Infrastructure gone. Washington DC will be a giant irradiated parking lot. So will NYC and all the major cities. Live down wind? You’re screwed. Do you depend on anything electrical? It likely won’t work. There is no returning to normal. |
