What we examine
A careful review of the relevant public record
Depending on the requested scope, a Tennessee title search may include deeds and conveyances, mortgages or deeds of trust, releases, assignments, judgments, tax matters, liens, easements, restrictions, probate-related instruments and other recorded documents.
Research is performed through the county Register of Deeds and appropriate court and public-record offices applicable to the property and assignment. Findings are organized into a practical report with recording references and supporting documents as requested.
Our process

- Assign local research. An experienced abstractor works through the applicable county records.
- Review and organize. Relevant instruments, references and exceptions are assembled for the requested product.
- Deliver clearly. The finished search and supporting documents are returned in an organized format.
