Preliminary Title Reports in California
What Exactly is a Preliminary Title Report?
A preliminary title search is a comprehensive report that outlines ownership, liens and encumbrances related to a specific property. While a preliminary title report can be ordered for properties nationwide, they're most frequently requested from ProTitleUSA for California properties. No matter what state the property is in, a preliminary title report will contain key points that are related to the history of a property's title. This is a non-insurable product so it cannot be used at closing. For it to be an insurable product, a title commitment would have to be issued.
What is included in a Preliminary Title Report?
- The estate or interest covered;
- The record owner of the estate or interest;
- The parcel of land involved;
- The exceptions, liens, and encumbrances which may affect the land at the date and time of the report.
