Marketable Title
The purpose of Marketable Title is to identify the full chain of title, including all recorded encumbrances, based on best practices of the industry, state standards, or statutes. At Gray Hawk Land Solutions, we follow a standard research period of at least 30-40 years based on state statutes or the client’s requested scope of work. Research is limited to surface title only* and will include the following:
- Research will begin with a solid (greater than arm’s length transaction) Warranty Deed, Court Order, or Judgment behind the Marketable Title period defined by the state or as directed by the client
- 1920-forward search for easements and restrictions behind the Marketable Title period
- Research will include a search of all county records and courts, as needed
- Internet research will be completed as needed (research may be necessary for heirship/curative title purposes)
- *Any O&G/mineral related documents found of record will be included for informational purposes only (interests will not be run forward)
- The title package will include all documents found within the certified period except for released mortgages, unless the document affects transferable rights
Marketable Title Package will include the following:
- Limited Title Certificate (LTC) will include an “Exhibit A” where the legal description is typed exactly as found on the vesting deed(s), including any scrivener errors (spelling, punctuation, etc.), less any outsales, followed by a Vesting Deed summary
