A title search is an essential part of the real estate closing process. A title search by Crimmins Title involves examining public records to ensure that the property's title is clear and free of any liens, judgments, or other encumbrances that could affect the ownership rights.
During a title search, a thorough investigation is conducted to trace the history of ownership of the property and identify any potential issues that may need to be addressed before the property can be legally transferred. This process helps to protect buyers and lenders by ensuring that they are aware of any potential title defects before completing the transaction.
Close with Confidence
With the assistance of a title insurance company, we search court records, public records, tax records and maps for any liens that are active on a property. This way, once the sale is completed, all lenders can be satisfied and a clear deed can be issued for the property.
These searches and the subsequent title insurance protect the buyer of the property from defects such as:
- Contractor Liens
- Tax Liens
- Mortgage Defects
- Judgments Against Seller
- Homeowner Association Liens
- Undisclosed Heirs
- Foreclosure Issues
- Erroneous Surveys
- Property Line Disputes
- Building Code Violations
- Recording Errors
Our real estate title search services include:
- Obtaining a title search, doing a thorough title examination and preparing a title commitment specifying all documents required for closing.
- Discovering any title defects, problems or liens.
- Obtaining documentation to correct title defects.
- Closing the transaction (by obtaining all the necessary signatures, notarizing the signed documents, collecting all moneys due and disbursing collected funds to the proper parties)
A safe and secure transaction is the product of detailed work. Our many years of experience afford our customers the confidence to know their real estate transaction will go smoothly.
