Unknown Heirs and Missing Interest: The Risks of Incomplete Title Searches
A title report should show all parties who own the property as well as provide a copy of the deed. It’s important to ensure the purported owner has 100% interest. In cases where an owner is deceased, their estate needs to be searched to verify that all heirs are notified and sign off on any transfers.

Liens and Judgments: What They Are and How They Affect Property Titles
Liens and judgments are claims for unpaid debts. Some debts attach to the property. For instance, liens like municipal liens, HOA liens and tax liens don’t just go away if the property is sold either at foreclosure or to a third party. The new owner will be liable to pay these.
