Constructive Notice
Notice provided by all prior recorded documents in the property’s chain of title. Purchasers have a duty to search the chain of title for any prior recorded interest, and are deemed to have constructive notice of any previously recorded document in the chain of title. Gulotta & Gulotta, PLLC ensures that we obtain a title search from a reputable title company on behalf of any of the purchasers we represent.
- Example : Edward signs a contract to purchase Fred’s property. Gulotta & Gulotta, PLLC orders a title search of the property on Edward’s behalf. The title search reveals that there is a lien on the property for failure to pay property taxes. Before continuing with the purchase, we make sure that the lien is paid off before closing or the deal is cancelled and Edward’s down payment is returned.
