The Queen City
Buffalo has seen a strong resurgence in development, with revitalization efforts in downtown Buffalo, the waterfront, and historic neighborhoods. From commercial expansions near Canalside to residential growth in the Elmwood Village and North Buffalo, demand for secure title transactions is at an all-time high. With competitive pricing and increasing out-of-town investment, ensuring a clean title history is essential for a smooth closing.
Title Insurance and Abstracting Services in Erie County
-
An Abstract of Title is a chronological history of documents recorded at the local County Clerks office that affect real property. The abstract will reflect any conveyances, c&r’s/easements, liens, mortgages or other items which may affect the property. The abstract will reflect items dating back to a minimum bar standard starting point. In Erie County the bar standards call for a search back to at least 1920 and for it to be guaranteed by an underwriter. Our abstracts are guaranteed by Stewart Title.
-
An Abstract Redate is a product in which a prior abstract is updated from a prior date to current.

Title insurance protects property owners and lenders from financial loss due to defects in a property's title, such as undisclosed liens, ownership disputes, or recording errors. Unlike other types of insurance that cover future events, title insurance safeguards against past issues that could impact ownership rights. A one-time premium provides coverage for as long as the owner or their heirs have an interest in the property, offering peace of mind in real estate transactions.

We routinely work on abstracts or titles that involve commercial property. Whether it is a small gas station, large industrial complex or regional shopping center, our staff is experienced and able to handle your needs.
