Real Property Fees, Turn Times and County Minimums

Note: Turn times and fees are based on historical averages for residential searches. Individual searches may require more or less time depending on the complexity of the search , data you provide, your specific search requirements and other variables. 

Disclaimer:

Reports rendered by Davick Services are intended for informational purposes only, and are not an opinion of title, nor a policy of title insurance, nor a commitment to issue such policy.  All information contained within a Davick Services report was obtained by an examination of indexes in the named jurisdiction and is as accurate as reasonable care can make it.  Davick Services  makes no warranties, express or implied, regarding the insurability or marketability of title for the subject property, and assumes no liability whatsoever for the accuracy of the information provided by the county.

 

Search Definitions:

County Minimums: Every County is different. Some of the counties served by Davick Services require as much as a 350 mile round trip. Some have access to searches by public computer and some must be tediously searched by hand using old hand written indexes that may not show the legal address. County minimums reflect both the distance the abstractor must travel and the efficiency  of the county indexes. Searches in the same county may be combined to meet the minimum requirements so your fee may be no more than you would pay in metropolitan computerized counties.

Current Owner Search: Sometimes called a title report, current owner forward, or property search. This in-depth search first searches from the current date backward to find a warranty deed or other arms-length transfer of the subject property. Then forward from that date to uncover any mortgages, tax liens, judgments or other encumbrances. An additional $20 fee will be incurred if your search requires reporting of released liens. This search includes two pages of copies. Additional copies are $1.00 per page.

The resulting report includes:

All deeds for specified  period are reported as well as all unreleased voluntary or involuntary liens.  Please Note: Released liens are not reported. If you require this information a mortgage/assignment search will be added.

Mortgage/ Assignments: A search for a specific mortgage and subsequent assignments.    Due to recording and filing procedures in certain recording jurisdictions it is sometimes impossible to locate and retrieve an assignment even though the assignment has been recorded. Therefore, we cannot guarantee the identification of all assignments. Copies are $1.00 per page.

Deed Search: A search for the current vesting deed in subject property. Copies are $1.00 per page.

Title Chain: You specify the number of years to search with a ten year minimum. Chain breaks will constitute an additional fee. Copy of vesting deed is included. Additional copies are $1.00 per page.

Document Retrieval: You specify the specific volume and page.
