A title search is not limited to the records in the recorders office. If property is left by a (WILL) one becomes involved in searching records found in the Register of Wills Office. To check liens or judgements against a property, these records are found in the Prothonotary Office. Assessment figures are found also in the Recorder of Deeds Office. It may be desirable to check with the Township or City Hall for such things as building restrictions, tax collectors figures, location of property, etc.

Please understand that we are not title searchers and are not permitted nor qualified to do property searches, nor could we certify to such a search. If you desire to search on your own, we do caution you against errors and omissions. If your search includes any legal questions, you should contact your lawyer for the correct answers and also request him to do the search to eliminate errors.

If you are interested in the boundary lines of your properties, you should contact a surveyor.
