Many homeowners are interested in learning if their mortgage has been assigned, and if the proper assignments have been recorded in the official land records. Some lenders have used a "nominee trustee" process to transfer mortgage ownership outside of the official land records system.

You can now order a Mortgage Assignment Chain Verification records search. Our professional title searchers will research the recorded documents pertaining to your mortgage, and provide a report showing whether any assignments have been recorded. Homeowners can compare the information from these official records with information received from mortgage statements, foreclosure notices, or notices of default to begin determining if the proper assignments have been made.

Upon completion of the search, you will receive a document listing any assignments recorded transferring your mortgage to investors, lending companies, nominee trustees (MERS), or banking institutions. If no assignment was recorded in official records, the report will document the original mortage, and list the current mortgage holder of record. The report will be sent in to you by email in PDF format, to the address you provide on the following page.

Property easements typically refers to a specific real estate ownership portion. For every parcel of real estate, there are a bundle of rights associated with the ownership. This bundle of rights includes most of the commonly known rights, such as the surface rights, and structures on the property. There may also be easements granted to other parties, to allow access or right to use a portion of the land for a special purpose. It normally does not grant possession or a license. An easement normally benefits another parcel of land. Go to EasementSearch.com.
