Some of you have asked, “what happens between when you open a title order….and when you close escrow?"

The life of a title order begins when we receive instructions from you, your realtor, or your escrow officer that we need to open a title order, and begin researching the property.

After the order is opened, it is assigned to a team of searchers and examiners. At this point, we are going to research everything on public record that affects the property in question.

Once we have all the information, we type up your preliminary title report, and send it to all parties for review.

When you receive the preliminary title report, you now have written notice of all matters that we found against the property. Sometimes these matters are standard and need little attention or action; However, if there are items that require curative measures – judgments, mechanics liens, pending law suits, etc. – you’ll want to take action to clean these things up right away.

After you’ve received your preliminary title report, you’ll work with escrow and our team at Lawyers Title to make sure all action items are cleared prior to close of escrow.

Once title is clean and clear to close, our team will update the preliminary title report by doing something called a “date down”. This usually happens in the day or two leading up to your scheduled to close escrow. By updating the report, we remove all action items that have been cleared, and we double-check to be sure nothing new has been recorded against the property since our initial search.

The next step is when we receive documents and funds.

Once we have the funds and documents, we send the deeds to the county so that the sale can be recorded.

After we make sure all parties are notified of the confirmation of sale, the last step on the title side of the transaction is when we wire proceeds to the sellers…and make payoffs to any other lien holders that are due funds.

If you have questions, feel free to reach out to us. We’re always happy to help.
