Title search and title reports for any U.S. property

A title search is a review of the public records for one property: the deeds that show who owns it, and the mortgages, liens, judgments and easements recorded against it. We run the search in any U.S. county and verify the findings with the assessor, tax office, recorder and courts.

A title report is the written result of the search: the owner of record and vesting, the chain of title, open mortgages, liens and judgments, tax status, easements and restrictions, the document images, and a plain-language summary of what we found, what it means and what to do next.

Each package is one flat price set by your situation, from $395 for one auction property to $995 for the first parcel of a development site. Document images, verification and the summary are included.

Choose by who you are and what is about to happen: an estate, a closing, a lawsuit, an auction, a purchase without an agent, or a sale you are preparing. Each package adds the research that situation needs on top of the same in-depth standard. If none fits, tell us what is going on in writing and we will say which applies, or whether none does.

Turnaround is 1 to 3+ days, depending on the county and the complexity of the property's records. You enter your deadline when you order, and if it cannot be met we tell you in writing before work begins. There is no faster paid option; the deadline field does that job.

No. U.S. Title Research is a title research, abstracting and consulting company. A report shows what the public record says and what it means; it does not insure title and it is not legal or tax advice. Before closing any transaction, we recommend a title insurance policy from a title insurance company.

Yes. We research property in every U.S. county, including counties whose older records are not online. When a key document exists only on microfilm or in a paper index, we retrieve the image rather than note that it was unavailable.

Yes. Every order is confidential and anonymous. The person or entity being researched is never contacted. Your identity and order details are never disclosed, shared or sold, and all communication is in writing by email so the full history of your order stays in one thread.
