What does a "Full Search" in title examination indicate?

A "Full Search" in title examination indicates a comprehensive review that includes older records. This type of search is designed to uncover any potential issues or claims against a property that may have arisen well before the last 30 years. By investigating a broader time frame, it allows title examiners to identify previous owners, encumbrances, and any other legal matters that could affect the current ownership or marketability of the title.

This thorough approach is essential for ensuring that all potential risks are assessed and that the title is free and clear of unresolved issues. While some searches may only consider recent transactions or focus solely on the current title owner, a Full Search provides a more complete picture of the property's ownership history and any other relevant factors.
