Full Title Search
A Full Title Search is a comprehensive examination of a property’s recorded history over a specified search period, such as 20 years, 30 years, 40 years, or a custom requested timeframe. The search reviews ownership transfers, mortgages, liens, judgments, easements, tax status, and other recorded matters affecting title.
The report organizes findings in chronological order and provides a professional title abstract summarizing recorded activity associated with the property.
Typical turnaround time for a Full Title Search Report is 2 business days, depending on county record availability, property complexity, and search depth.
We also offer Update Title Search services for previously completed full title searches to help clients obtain current title updates without requiring a completely new search
