What is the cheapest and the best way to do a title search on a house for sale?

You have a title company or real estate attorney run a title search to ensure that the property is free of any liens or encumbrances. If you want to know who the owner can do it yourself control of records in the county assessors.

Take it your way

The cheapest way is to go to court and do a search in the title. Is tedious and will take considerable time to find the actual documents of the house, then we will refer to documents in another book, location, etc. go there and the documents referred to another book, location, etc until you go all the way back to the original homestead papers.

The best way is to pay a title company of a couple hundred dollars to do it for you. Then you can be sure not to miss something like a hidden mortgage or lien on the property.
