Title Search
Title Search & Protection
At Cambridge Title Company, we believe peace of mind should come standard with every transaction. That’s why we conduct a thorough title search on every property before closing—so you can move forward with confidence.
What Is a Title Search?
A title search is an in-depth examination of public records to uncover any debts, legal issues, or ownership complications that could impact your property rights. Our experienced title professionals review a range of documents to ensure the title is clear and marketable.
Common issues we investigate:
- Prior deeds
- Mortgages
- Divorce decrees
- Court judgments
- Delinquent property taxes
- Unpaid child support
We also check for easements, covenants, and restrictions that may affect how the property can be used. If a problem is identified, our team works behind the scenes to resolve it—often without the buyer or seller ever being aware. If the issue requires action, we notify you immediately.
Fact to know
More than one-third of residential real estate transactions reveal a title issue that must be addressed before closing.
Protection Beyond the Records
Even with a meticulous title search, some issues can remain hidden. That’s where title insurance comes in.
An Owner’s Title Insurance Policy protects you against unknown risks, such as:
- Forgery or fraud
- Signatures from minors or legally incompetent parties
- Deeds executed under an expired power of attorney
- Clerical or recording errors in public documents
These protections cover not only legal costs but also potential financial losses. At Cambridge Title, we make this process seamless, handling the title search, examination, issue resolution, and policy issuance—often including settlement services, too.
Whether you’re a first-time homebuyer or a seasoned investor, Cambridge Title is here to ensure your transaction is secure from start to finish.
