Record Search & Title Examination

We research the subject property using our Title Plant Databases and other resources. Our experienced Title Examiners are the key to providing the client with a useful, accurate preliminary title policy or other report. We begin the review by making a technical analysis of the documents of record. We make an interpretive analysis of all recorded matters to evaluate their impact on the title to the property. We then create a draft preliminary title policy or other reports as requested.
