What Is a Property Title Search?
A property title search examines public records to verify ownership and identify liens, encumbrances, and defects affecting a property's title. This research reveals mortgages, judgments, tax liens, easements, mechanic's liens, and other claims that could affect your rights as a buyer, lender, or investor.
Title searches are conducted by examining records at the county recorder's office, probate court, and other government agencies where property documents are filed. Our abstractors trace the chain of ownership and document any issues that could create problems at closing or after purchase.
