What a title search actually finds

A plain look at the records a search covers and the problems it turns up, from old mortgages to missing signatures.

What this article will cover

  1. What a title search is. A plain definition, and why it comes before every closing.
  2. Where we look. The county recorder, the courts and the tax records.
  3. What turns up most often. Open mortgages, unpaid taxes, judgments, easements and errors in old deeds.
  4. What happens after we find something. How a problem becomes a requirement on the commitment, and how it gets cleared.
  5. How you can help. What to tell us up front so nothing surprises anyone.
