A title search/exam reviews all public records that affect the property, including prior mortgages, judgments and liens to ensure they were all paid in full, as well as past wills, deeds and trusts to ensure the title has correctly passed to each new owner. The title agent also will look for boundary disputes, fraudulent documents and any issues that can interfere with your purchase. We can even coordinate your title search/exam needs across the United States.
