Do we search for liens?

Yes. Often considered to be the most important facet of a title search, we run a comprehensive lien search and report any open judgments and liens recorded against the property. This includes mortgage liens, and all non-voluntary liens (i.e. tax liens, contractor liens, mechanic liens). We will also examine judgments recorded against the current owner that may encumber the property. 

If any liens are found during title research, they typically need to be resolved (paid off or negotiated and settled) before any property sale will proceed. This ensures the buyer receives a clear title; free of any outstanding legal claims.
