When you send a title search order to ClearSight Abstract for your Sussex County searching needs, we will process your order quickly and let you know the order was received.
After property information has been verified in our office (lot and block search, property owner name search, and address search), our title searchers will get to work.
You are welcome to customize your title search orders as needed, whether you need a full, sixty year Sussex County, New Jersey, title search, or just a mortgage search on your property owner (record owner).
Our back title is comprehensive, with files on 99% of filed maps (developments) in Sussex County. We also have detailed analyses on real estate developments, as well as analyses on common names in Sussex County (such as, John Smith, John Smith Jr., etc.). We regularly search by first initial only (instead of first name) to ensure that no liens, right of ways, mortgages, or deeds are missed.
In Sussex County, most title searches require that work is done both online and in the Sussex County Record Room (Hall of Records). Deeds, mortgages, and judgments prior to 1950 are not currently available online, which means our team must pull (and decipher!) old deeds and mortgages in the hall of records.
Because of Sussex County Clerk’s Office inconsistencies that arose in the 1990s during the transition to digital record keeping, we check all open mortgages and judgments in physical books directly in the Sussex County Hall of Records. Checking documents directly in the hall of records is the only way to ensure that we report the same that thing the county reports.
We routinely plot surveyor descriptions in deeds to validate property dimensions (and when it comes to the many old farms in Sussex County, to fit property descriptions together like puzzle pieces). We are no strangers to old property descriptions that are written out in chains and links, or that mark boundaries by waypoints like “the old oak tree” or “the long ditch.” Once, we found a came across a deed so old that the farm borders were measured by “puffs” on a cigarette.
Once your title search is complete, you will receive a well-organized, clear copy of documents—including an easy to read title report. Documents for our titles searches may included:
Title Report
Filed Map
Tax Map
Run Sheets (Search work)
Plottings
Deeds
