Diving into the Basics: Current Owner Searches in the State of Minnesota
A Current Owner Search, also referred to as an O&E, produces the title of a given property from the time that the current owner acquired it to the present time. The process entails searching by various methods to retrieve property related documents which are filed in public land records. Open mortgages and liens associated with the owner and/or subject property, that were recorded after the current owner's acquisition of the property, will appear on the report. Judgments against the owner that fall within the state's statute are also reported.
Why a Title Search is Essential in Minnesota
A title search is crucial to ensure you’re making the best financial decision when investing in a property. The title search will shed light on potential issues such as outstanding debt, clouded titles and boundary line disputes which may sway your decision in moving forward with the property.
