What Is a Deed Search?
A deed search locates and retrieves the recorded deed for any property from county recorder, clerk, or registry of deeds records. U.S. Title Records delivers deed searches for any property in all 50 states. Order a Deed Copy ($45) to receive a PDF scan of the actual recorded deed document with all signatures, notarizations, recording stamps, book and page numbers, legal description, and consideration paid. Or order a Property Detail Report ($29) to get deed information (grantor, grantee, deed type, recording date, consideration) along with current ownership, mortgage, and tax data. Both delivered via email in PDF format. No login required.
Why use a professional deed search instead of DIY? County recorder websites vary dramatically: some counties have full online access, others charge per-page fees, and many rural counties have no online records at all. Even when records are online, you need to know the grantor/grantee name, book and page number, or instrument number to locate the specific deed. U.S. Title Records eliminates this complexity. Provide the property address, and our abstractors locate the deed from the correct county office, verify it is the current vesting deed, and deliver the document to your email. One price ($45), any county, any state, 3,250+ counties covered. For complete deed history showing every ownership transfer, order a Chain of Title Report ($275).
What Does a Deed Show?
A property deed contains the grantor's name (seller/transferor), grantee's name (buyer/recipient), the deed type (warranty, quitclaim, grant, special warranty, etc.), the legal description of the property (metes and bounds, lot and block, or government survey), the consideration paid (purchase price or "for love and affection" for gifts), recording information (book, page, instrument number, recording date), and the notarized signatures of the grantor and witnesses.
Deed Search vs. Title Search
A deed search locates a specific deed document. A title search examines the full title history including all deeds, liens, encumbrances, easements, and claims against the property. If you need just the deed, order a Deed Copy ($45). If you need the complete picture of ownership, liens, and title status, order a preliminary title report ($375).

Order $275 ChainTypes of Property Deeds
What your deed search may reveal
Warranty Deed (General)
The strongest form of deed. The grantor guarantees clear title and warrants against all claims, both past and present. Most common in residential property sales. Provides the highest level of protection for the buyer.
Special Warranty Deed
The grantor warrants title only against claims arising during their period of ownership. Does not cover title defects from prior owners. Common in commercial transactions and bank-owned (REO) property sales.
Quitclaim Deed
Transfers whatever interest the grantor has in the property, with no warranties or guarantees of clear title. Common for transfers between family members, adding/removing a spouse, correcting errors on prior deeds, and transferring property into a trust.
Grant Deed
Common in California and some western states. The grantor warrants that they have not previously conveyed the property to another party and that there are no undisclosed encumbrances. Provides more protection than a quitclaim but less than a general warranty deed.
Deed of Trust / Security Deed
Not a transfer deed, but appears in a deed search. A deed of trust (or security deed in Georgia) secures a loan by transferring legal title to a trustee until the debt is repaid. These are recorded with the county and show as open encumbrances.
Deed Under Power / Foreclosure Deed
Recorded after a foreclosure sale. Transfers ownership from the defaulting borrower to the winning bidder or the lender (if the property becomes bank-owned/REO). A deed search on a foreclosed property will show this deed as the most recent transfer.
Deed Search Questions
Common questions about searching for property deeds
How Much Does a Deed Search Cost?
A deed search costs $29 for deed information or $45 for a copy of the actual recorded deed document at U.S. Title Records. The $29 Property Detail Report includes grantor, grantee, deed type, recording date, and consideration paid alongside ownership, mortgage, and tax data. The $45 Deed Copy provides a PDF scan of the physical recorded deed with all signatures, notarizations, and recording stamps. A complete deed history (Chain of Title) costs $275 and includes copies of every vesting deed. By comparison, county recorder offices typically charge $1-$5 per page plus search fees, and many require in-person visits or mailed requests.

Enter the property address at ustitlerecords.com/search-property-records and select Deed Copy ($45) or Property Detail Report ($29). Our abstractors locate the deed from the correct county office using the address, verify it is the current vesting deed, and deliver the document to your email via email in PDF format. No login, no account, no subscription required.

Search by Address →Can I Search for a Deed by Owner Name?
Yes. A Title Search by Name ($75 statewide, $535 nationwide) locates all properties and deeds associated with a specific individual or entity. The report returns every property address, current ownership status, and deed details across every county in the searched state or all 50 states. This is commonly used by attorneys for judgment recovery, executors for probate estate inventory, and investors for portfolio tracking. For asset investigation beyond property records, visit U.S. Asset Records.
Search by Name →What Is the Difference Between a Deed and a Title?
A deed is the physical legal document that transfers ownership of real property. It is signed by the grantor, notarized, and recorded with the county recorder, clerk, or registry of deeds. Once recorded, it becomes a public record. A title is the legal concept of ownership itself, meaning the bundle of rights you hold to use, occupy, sell, or transfer the property. A deed search ($45) locates the physical document. A title search ($29-$375) examines the full ownership history, liens, encumbrances, and legal status of the title. You need a deed to prove a transfer happened. You need a title search to confirm the transfer was valid and the title is clear.
Title Search →How Long Does a Deed Search Take?
U.S. Title Records delivers deed searches via email in PDF format. Orders are processed 7 days a week including holidays. By comparison, requesting a deed copy directly from a county recorder office typically takes 5-10 business days by mail, requires identifying the correct county office, completing a request form, and paying per-page copy fees. Some counties allow online access but require account creation and charge per-document viewing fees. Our service eliminates all of these steps: provide the address, pay once, receive the deed document in your email.
Search Property Records →Can I Get a Deed Search for Free?
Some county recorder and registry of deeds websites allow free searching of deed indexes (grantor/grantee name, recording date, instrument number). However, viewing or downloading the actual deed document usually requires a per-page fee ($1-$5/page) or an in-person visit to the county office. Many rural counties have no online access at all. A professional deed search from U.S. Title Records costs $45 for the complete deed document or $29 for deed information with ownership data, covering any property in any of 3,250+ U.S. counties. See our free property search guide for what free options provide.
