Chain of Title Searches
A Chain of Title Search traces the historical ownership of a property through recorded public records over a specified period of time. The search identifies prior property transfers, recorded deeds, and ownership changes in chronological order to establish a clear ownership history.
Search periods may include a fixed timeframe such as 30 years, 50 years, or a custom search period requested by the client.
Typical turnaround time for a Chain of Title Search Report is 2 business days, depending on county record availability, search depth, and property complexity.
