James Said:

How can I get a free title search on my house online?

We Answered:

first of all a title search on your own house?? are you worried you dont have a clean title? one would have been done on the home before you bought it(mortgage company would have made it mandatory) only reason anything should be on there to any problems is if someone sued you or you in major major debt
you can do one your self all a title company is going to do is get online or go downtown to the tax records and look it up by book and page.

Heather Said:

Can I do my own house title search?

We Answered:

You can do your own title search, as the records are publicly available from the city/county tax office, but the bank, if you are getting a loan, may not accept it. You can easily work with a local title company and get their report directly, no attorney is needed. Attorneys are actually not usually used, or needed, in title searches.

Terry Said:

Trying to refinance my house. Title search found deed not released from a 1996 refinance. What can I do?

We Answered:

Talk to a real estate attorney.

Rafael Said:

Can you close on a house without the title search being complete?

We Answered:

You can, but you would be a fool.

If you are using a lender, they would never consent to such an act.

Albert Said:

Does anybody know what it should cost to have a title search done for a house to just check for leans?

We Answered:

shouldn't cost you more than $100 or $200 at the most. A lot of times you can run a check yourself through the county recorders website. I work for a title company.

Wendy Said:

I purchased a house without doing a title search. How do i remove liens from 20 years ago?

We Answered:

To remove liens from a property they must be paid off, or the lien holder release them.

If you did not use a title company when you purchased the property and the liens were on the property you inherited them.

Unless your state use attorneys as closing agents you do not need an attorney.

The best thing to do now is call the lien holders. See if you can make a deal with them, ask if they will take less for their liens if you can pay them off in a certain period of time?

Some of the liens might have been paid and the release not recorded so make sure you see if the lien is still owed before making any deal. Ask if they have a recorded release?

In some states there are tme limits. The liens have to be recorded again after a certain length of time. Check with your state to find out when and if your state has this requirement.

Your title company should know this so you might ask them if they know.

I know that hindsight is well you know.

You should always use a title company whenever you buy real estate.

I hope this has been of some use to you, good luck.
