Laying the Foundation: The Importance of a Title Search in Alabama

If you’re purchasing a property, it’s important to know of any outstanding debt since delinquent taxes and certain liens such as municipal liens will stay with the property even after the sale and become your responsibility. The title search will also outline potential title issues, as well as ensure the seller has the legal right to sell the property.

The Step-by-Step Process of a Title Search:

• Locate the real estate on the assessor’s page and obtain the assessed value, parcel number and other pertinent information.
• Review the tax status from the county tax collector to determine if the taxes are paid, due or delinquent.
• Search the owner and property through the county recorder’s property records to find applicable deeds, open mortgages, mortgage associated documents, judgments, liens, foreclosure cases, as well as any other documents that are relevent to the title.
