• Bay Title & Abstract, Inc. has been serving the title insurance needs of Northeast Wisconsin since 1974. We are a professional organization that strives for fast, efficient, and professional closings.

  The title insurer carefully researches every known recorded document regarding current and prior ownership of the property being purchased or transferred to determine the current status of the title. This includes scrutiny of all public and court records, property tax records, legal descriptions, liens, and claims. The search may cover such relevant documents as deeds, mortgages, wills, judgments, divorce decrees, liens, and assessments relative to the property in question.

  This process of risk elimination is followed to determine the insurable interest and what visible title defects will have to be cleared before title is transferred.

  However, no matter how extensive and exacting the title search may be, the possibility of hidden risks remains. Records may not reflect:

  • Claims of missing heirs
    False personations
    Forgeries
    Improperly probated wills
    Clerical errors in recording legal documents
    Confusion due to similar or identical names
    Deeds executed under expired or false powers of attorney
    Unsatisfied claims not shown on the records
    Mistaken interpretation of wills and trusts
    Encroachment that a survey could disclose
    
  Hidden risks make the purchase of title insurance a most prudent one-time investment.
