Tiger Abstract Inc. -- Title Search and Abstract

Tiger Research
A title search requires more than just a trip to the court of records. Of course, you need to know who owns the property. You also need to know who has placed a lien against the property - after all, land is an asset that cannot disappear and thus is considered a valuable security in many transactions.

Tiger conducts a thorough search in order to give you the most accurate information, enabling you to make an informed decision. For example:

Mortgages - are there any? What is the balance due?

Real Estate Taxes - are they current?

Assessments - for sewers, curbs or other city improvements. Are they paid?

Judgments - have they been satisfied or is there still an outstanding debt?

Tax Liens - federal, state or local. Inheritance taxes, estate taxes, income taxes - are they paid?

Descendants - are there any heirs? Do they have a claim on the property?

Court Proceedings - foreclosures, condemnations. Will these affect your purchase?

Covenants - is the use of the land restricted? Will you need zoning changes?

Easements - utility lines, water wells, joint driveways. Can someone else pass through your land?

Surveys - when necessary, surveys can be verified or new ones completed.
