What an Abstract of Title Is
An abstract of title is a written chronology of all recorded documents related to a specific parcel of real estate. It typically includes:
Names of all owners
Dates of ownership
Purchase prices
Court proceedings
Liens, transfers, and legal actions
Occasionally marriages or other civil records affecting title
These documents were created to verify that a property’s chain of ownership was clear and that the current owner had legal right to sell.
