Definition: Title Search Services

Title search services (also called property records search, real estate title search, or property title search) are professional research services that examine public records to verify property ownership, identify liens and encumbrances, trace ownership history, and uncover any issues that could affect the transfer of real estate. Professional title search services access county recorder offices, assessor databases, court records, and title plants to compile comprehensive reports for buyers, sellers, lenders, attorneys, and investors.

According to the American Land Title Association (ALTA), thorough title examination is essential before any real estate transaction to protect against ownership disputes and undisclosed claims.

What Are Title Search Services?

Title search services are professional research solutions that examine public records to determine the legal ownership of real property and identify any claims, liens, or encumbrances that could affect a transaction. When you order a property records search, experienced abstractors review recorded documents at county recorder offices to create a comprehensive picture of the property’s legal status.

Think of title search services as a thorough background check for real estate. Just as employers verify employment history before hiring, property title search services verify ownership history before buying, selling, or lending against property.

Why Title Search Services Matter

Every real estate transaction involves risk. Without proper title search services, you could face:

Risk	Consequence	How Title Search Protects You
⚠️ Unknown liens	Inherit seller’s debts	Property Lien Search reveals all recorded liens
⚠️ Ownership disputes	Legal battles over property	Chain of Title Search verifies ownership succession
⚠️ Forged documents	Invalid ownership transfer	Professional analysis identifies document irregularities
⚠️ Undisclosed heirs	Claims against your property	Complete ownership history reveals all parties
⚠️ Judgment liens	Personal debts attached to property	Full Property/Owner Lien Report checks both

The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB) recommends title verification for all property purchases to protect your investment.

Order a Full Property Lien Report — $95 for liens against the property, or Full Property/Owner Lien Report — $195 to also check liens against the current owner personally.

What is a chain of title search?

A chain of title search traces the complete ownership history of a property, documenting every transfer from the current owner back through prior owners (typically 30 years). The Full Chain of Title Report — $275+ includes copies of all vesting deeds, creating a chronological record of ownership succession.

Do I need a title search before buying property?

Yes. The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau recommends title verification before any real estate purchase. A property title search reveals ownership status, existing liens that must be paid at closing, and potential issues that could affect your ownership. For homebuyers, we recommend the Homebuyer Package — $195 or Full Property/Owner Lien Report — $195.
