Title Research & Curative

Sound land work begins with sound title. A thorough title examination is the foundation of any successful leasing program, acquisition, or project financing — and a missed title defect can become an expensive problem years after closing.

Services include:

  • Courthouse research and abstracting (deed, lease, mortgage, probate, and court records)
  • Chain of title construction and mineral title history
  • Mineral and surface ownership runsheets and ownership reports
  • Division order title examination
  • Abstract and ownership report preparation; coordination with title counsel on title opinions, objections, and requirements
  • Identification and curative of title defects: gaps, missing heirs, unreleased encumbrances, improper conveyances, and heirship issues
  • Heirship affidavit preparation and procurement; recordation support
  • Severance history research (documenting when mineral and surface estates were severed)

Whether you need a single-tract ownership confirmation or a multi-county title project, the goal is the same: defensible, well-documented title work you can rely on.
