Title Searches
Title searches are comprehensive examinations of a property’s history, typically spanning 30, 40, or 60 years to uncover essential details that could impact ownership or transactions. These searches often require meticulous hand reviews of historical record books, especially for older properties where digital records may not exist. By delving into these archives, the process ensures a thorough understanding of the property’s past, helping to identify any potential issues before they become costly surprises.
The results provide a full chain of title, including all relevant deeds and easements that have shaped the property’s ownership over time. In addition, the search covers open or both open and closed mortgages and deeds of trust, along with assignments, releases, liens, judgments, and any other encumbrances that might affect the title. Tax and assessment information is also included, offering a complete picture of financial obligations tied to the property and ensuring all aspects are accounted for in your decision-making.
Every title search is customized to meet specific requirements, whether for real estate transactions, legal proceedings, or banking needs. Options include searches with or without physical copies of documents, and a professionally typed abstracted report is always provided for clarity and ease of reference. For added convenience, copies and reports can be delivered electronically via email attachment, allowing for quick access and seamless integration into your workflow.
