The Importance of Name Searches
Name Searches are a vital part of the property transaction process, ensuring that there are no hidden liabilities or encumbrances associated with a property owner’s name. These searches help identify any outstanding judgments, liens, or other legal issues that could affect the ownership or transfer of the property. Key aspects covered by a name search include:
● Judgments: Identifying any legal judgments against the property owner is crucial. These judgments can become liens against the property, potentially complicating the transfer process.
● Liens: A Name Search reveals any liens file against the property owner. These liens must be addressed and resolved before the property can be sold or transferred, ensuring clear ownership.
● Bankruptcy Records: Checking for bankruptcy records is important as it can affect the owner’s ability to sell the property. Understanding any bankruptcy implications helps in planning a smooth transaction.
● Criminal Records: In some cases, criminal records may impact property transactions. A comprehensive Name Search ensures that all potential issues are uncovered and addressed beforehand.
