WHEN A PERSON BUYS SOMETHING, THEY SELDOM HAVE THE NEED TO KNOW WHETHER THE FORMER OWNER IS MARRIED, SINGLE OR DIVORCED; WHETHER THEY HAVE PAID THEIR TAXES OR ARE INVOLVED IN A LAWSUIT. BUT WHEN A PERSON BUYS A HOME IT IS NECESSARY TO HAVE ALL THAT INFORMATION AND MUCH MORE. FOR WHILE HE MAY OWN THE PROPERTY, OTHERS MAY ALSO HAVE RIGHTS IN THAT SAME REAL ESTATE. A COMPETENT INVESTIGATION CAN UNCOVER SUCH ITEMS AS UNPAID TAXES, EASEMENTS, RESTRICTIONS AND MORE. HOWEVER, ALL ITEMS AFFECTING THE TITLE "ARE NOT CONTAINED" IN A SINGLE BOOK, IN A SINGLE OFFICE OR EVEN IN THE SAME CITY. THEN, ADD TO THIS, THE POSSIBILITY OF HUMAN ERROR AT A MULTIPLICITY OF POINTS. YET WHAT IS "NOT IN THE PUBLIC RECORDS" IS WHAT CAUSES THE TITLE TROUBLE. FOR ALL THESE REASONS AND MANY MORE, A PROPERTY OWNER NEEDS THE PROTECTION AFFORDED BY TITLE INSURANCE.

IN MOST INSTANCES, WE CAN PROVIDE RAPID RESPONSE TO INQUIRIES AS TO: OWNERSHIP'S PROPERTY ADDRESSES LEGAL DESCRIPTIONS TAX INFORMATION LOT SIZES LISTING PACKAGES RECENT TITLE INSURANCE REGULATIONS REQUIRE THAT WE NOW CHARGE A REASONABLE FEE FOR ALL SERVICES PERFORMED.
