Title Searches and Issue Resolution

Every file starts with a thorough title search of Ouachita Parish records. If we find an old mortgage, a judgment, or an heirship problem, our attorneys resolve it before closing. That can include curative deeds, payoff negotiations, or succession documents when prior ownership was never updated.

Title Insurance for Buyers and Lenders

Owner’s and lender’s title insurance add a layer of protection against hidden risks that a search cannot find, such as recording errors or undiscovered claims. As an issuing agent, Marathon Title arranges policies so your mortgage can fund on time and your ownership is supported on day one.

What to Expect on Closing Day

Bring government-issued IDs and your cashier’s check or wire confirmation. We will review each document, answer questions, and finalize funding once the lender’s requirements are complete. Keys are released when funds are disbursed, often the same day for local banks in Monroe, West Monroe, and Sterlington.
