An Abstract of Title is a condensed history of the ownership of a piece of real estate. It summarizes all documents, legal proceedings, and transactions that have affected the property over time. Here’s what it typically includes:

Chain of Title: A chronological list of all previous owners and transfers of the property.

Encumbrances: Details of any liens, mortgages, easements, or restrictions that affect the property.

Legal Descriptions: Accurate descriptions of the property’s boundaries.

Recorded Documents: Summaries of deeds, wills, court proceedings, and other legal documents that impact the title.

The abstract provides a snapshot of the title’s history, helping to ensure that the current owner has a clear and marketable title. It’s essential for potential buyers and lenders to review the abstract to understand any potential legal issues or claims on the property.
