Title Search & Title Insurance

Title examination, curative work, and owner’s and lender’s title insurance for Jacksonville property.

Title is the legal history of a property — who has owned it, what liens or claims are attached, and whether the seller can actually convey clean ownership. A proper title search finds the problems before you own them.

We examine title, clear up issues that surface, and issue title insurance so your ownership is protected against hidden defects from the past.

What this includes

  • Full title search and examination
  • Identifying liens, judgments, easements, and clouds on title
  • Curative work to clear defects before closing
  • Owner’s and lender’s title insurance policies
  • Payoff and lien-release coordination
  • Clear explanation of what your policy does and does not cover

When clients call us

Situations we handle regularly:

  • Buyers who want their ownership protected at closing
  • Sellers who need to clear an old lien or title defect
  • Refinances requiring a new lender’s policy
  • Inherited or gifted property with unclear title history
Talk it through first. Not sure whether your situation needs an attorney? The initial consultation is free — call (904) 219-1020 and we’ll give you a straight answer.

Title insurance is a one-time cost that protects you for as long as you own the property. We make sure the coverage is right and the title is genuinely clean before you close.

Common questions

A lender’s policy protects the bank’s interest and is usually required for financing. An owner’s policy protects you — your equity and ownership — against title defects. We generally recommend both.

It’s any claim or defect — an old mortgage never released, an unpaid judgment, a boundary or heirship issue — that could challenge clean ownership. We identify and resolve these before closing.
