A title documents the ownership of an asset, such as a piece of real estate. Both buyers and sellers of real estate want to ensure that title to the property is “clear,” without any liens or other claims against it. Attorney Melissa J. Reynolds offers comprehensive title services for parties to Maine real estate transactions, including:

• Title search to ensure that there are no title defects that could interfere with the sale of the property
• Lien search to confirm that there are no claims against the property such as tax liens or security interests
• Examination of court and real estate records to search for easements, encroachments, and other issues that could affect title
• Compilation of title commitment describing the rights being conveyed in a real estate transaction and committing to issue title insurance
• Title insurance policy to protect lenders and home buyers from defects in title
• Notary services for out-of-state purchasers who are unable to come to Maine for a closing; Melissa can arrange for a notary to travel to your home or office to notarize the necessary documents
• Statewide recording of deeds
• Closing Services for cash purchases and lender transactions
