Understanding Title & Municipal Lien Searches
Title Searches
A title search is a comprehensive examination of public records to determine the legal ownership of a property and to uncover any claims, defects, liens, or encumbrances against it. This critical step, performed by Location Title & Escrow LLC, verifies the seller's right to transfer ownership and reveals issues like outstanding mortgages, judgments, easements, or restrictions that could impact your rights to the property.
Municipal Lien Searches
A municipal lien search specifically investigates unrecorded debt owed to local municipalities. This can include outstanding utility bills, code enforcement violations, open permits, or special assessments that may not appear in standard title record searches. Location Title & Escrow LLC conducts thorough municipal lien searches to protect buyers from inheriting these hidden debts, which could become their responsibility after closing.
