Title search Monroe buyers and lenders rely on

Thorough Title Examinations

A complete title examination reviews conveyances, mortgages, judgments, tax liens, and successions to confirm ownership and surface problems before closing. Watson, McMillin & Street attorneys read the history, not just the index, which helps prevent surprises for properties near ULM, Pecanland Mall, and throughout Ouachita Parish.

Clearing Title Issues

Common problems include unreleased mortgages, estate matters, boundary disputes, and errors in prior deeds. Our team prepares curative documents, negotiates payoffs, files successions when needed, and works with surveyors to align legal descriptions so the closing can proceed.

Title Insurance for Owners and Lenders

Owner’s and lender’s policies protect against covered defects that may appear after closing, including recording mistakes or unknown claims. As an issuing agent, Marathon Title binds coverage and coordinates requirements with banks across Monroe and West Monroe.

Title Services for Special Transactions
