Thorough Title Searches

certificate-of-titleThe Law Office of Harry W. Haskins, P.A. offers a variety of title searches including a full coverage or limited coverage search. A full coverage title search discloses easements, real estate liens, Conditions, Covenants & Restrictions (CC&R), ordinances and other agreements. The search of records may also include an investigation for liens and against all property owners and bankruptcy actions by the owner. A limited coverage title search checks for liens against property owners. Additionally the records will be checked for bankruptcy proceedings involving the current property owner.

Title Defects

Title defects are any claims or other factors that could cause the title to a property to be called into question or declared invalid. This can occur in a number of ways, from a deed containing ambiguous language to an incorrect legal description of the property, the property being encumbered by an easement or there may be an outstanding lien. The most common type of title defect is a claim by one owner to have a marketable title to a property when, in fact, it is owned by another.
