Title Searches
A title search isn't just a formality — it's the document that tells you whether the person selling actually owns the property, whether anything is recorded against it, and whether the chain of ownership has any breaks that need curing before you close.
How far back we go
Louisiana practice is to examine title back to root — typically 30 to 60 years, depending on the property and parish. We pull every recorded instrument in the chain, identify every party, and trace the ownership without gaps.
What we surface
Liens, mortgages, judgments, tax issues, easements, restrictions, prior surveys, mineral rights, and any open matters that could affect title. If we find something, we tell you — and we tell you what it takes to clear it.
Curative work
Most title issues can be cured. Missing successions, old mortgages that were paid but never released, mismatched legal descriptions, name discrepancies — we handle the curative work in-house so the closing isn't delayed by an outside attorney chasing the same paperwork.
Common questions.
- How much does a title search cost?
- It depends on the property type and parish, but residential title searches in southeast Louisiana typically run $250–$450. We'll quote your specific file before we start.
