What is an Abstract of Title?
An Abstract of Title is a summary of the public records tied to a specific piece of real estate—showing ownership history, transfers, liens, and other recorded legal matters affecting the property. It’s used to help determine whether the property has clear title before a sale or financing.
Think of an abstract as the property’s “paper trail”—organized into a usable history.
