O&E vs Title Search
As a new home buyer, the question of whether to get a full title search or an owner and encumbrance (also known as a title report) may come up in your home search process. It is important to first understand the difference between the two.Owner & Encumbrance
Owner and encumbrance reports are simplified non-insurance title reports designed for informational purposes only. Also known as a property report, this report is a limited search of public records. It does not provide any insurance. However, the title search does provide valuable information concerning the property such as the property’s most recent owner, taxes owed on the property, outstanding deed of trust, and possible liens.An owner and encumbrance report is not sufficient for title insurance coverage. However, it is a helpful tool that can be provided by your title insurance company; it is often used by buyers at estate auctions to be aware of any current issues or title matters.
Full Title Search
The full title search is compiled by the title company. The title company performs a search of county public records in order to issue title insurance, and liens against property are listed as “exceptions” to a title policy. The title report will include a legal description – basically, a written description of the property’s location and boundaries encompassed within the property. The majority of what is included the legal description is what you won’t see in your real estate marketing. The title report also includes property taxes and mortgage liens.A full title search will show the full chain of title on the property. A title search is the running of the title, an abstract of title, that goes back 30 years for title insurance purposes.
