Run a Title Search on
Any California Property

Yes. California property records are public, so you can order a property title report without opening escrow or buying title insurance. TruPoint runs your title on the same professional property-data platform that title and escrow companies use, then delivers a clean report for a flat per-property fee. It is the fast way for investors, agents, and lenders to verify ownership and screen a deal before spending money on inspections or appraisals.

A single recorded deed copy is a flat $30, a property and vesting profile is $75, a property lien report is $95, a full owner and lien report is $175, a chain of title report is $195, and the expanded title search is $275. Optional add-ons can be added to any report at checkout. Title companies typically charge $150 to $1,000 for a search and can take up to two weeks, and subscription data tools require a 12-month commitment, so TruPoint sits below both with no contract. County copy and certification fees, where they apply, are passed through at cost with no markup.

A property title search shows the current owner of record and how title is vested, the full chain of title, and the recorded financial picture: mortgages and deeds of trust, tax and assessment status, and recorded liens, judgments, and easements. It pulls what is recorded against the property, the same records a title company reviews. The $195 Chain of Title report and the $275 Expanded Title Search compile all of it in one document.

Investors order a property title report early in due diligence to confirm the seller is the owner of record and to spot liens or clouds before writing an offer. Running title first lets you tailor the price, negotiate a payoff, or walk away before spending on inspections. TruPoint returns most reports the same business day, so you can verify the deal on the timeline a wholesaler or flipper actually works on.

An ownership and encumbrance report lists the current owner of record and every recorded encumbrance on a property, including mortgages, deeds of trust, liens, and judgments, without issuing title insurance. It is the report investors and lenders order to see what is recorded against a property. See our full California O&E report page. TruPoint's $275 Expanded Title Search is an O&E paired with the complete ownership history, while the $95 Property Lien Report covers liens on their own.

Recorded liens, mortgages, deeds of trust, and judgments appear in the county property records for the parcel, and they stay attached to the property until they are released. TruPoint pulls those recorded items into your property title report so you can see what is on file before you buy. An old loan that was paid but never formally released will still show until it is cleared.

No. A property title report is a search of what is recorded against a property; it is not title insurance and does not replace the preliminary title report an escrow company issues during a sale. TruPoint runs the search and delivers the report; an escrow officer, title company, or attorney is who interprets the findings and insures the title for a specific transaction.

A single deed copy is usually delivered within hours, and most full title reports are delivered the same business day. Because the search runs on a live property-data platform rather than a trip to the recorder, there is no two-week wait and no county counter line. You receive your report by secure PDF, with certified copies of recorded documents available on request.

No subscription and no 12-month commitment. TruPoint charges a flat per-property fee, which suits investors, wholesalers, agents, and lenders who run title on deal after deal without wanting an enterprise data contract. Repeat clients reuse a quick intake, so ordering the next report takes seconds.

Voluntary liens are debts the owner agreed to and secured with the property — mortgages and deeds of trust. Involuntary liens are claims filed without the owner’s consent — tax liens, judgment liens, and HOA assessment liens, some of which are indexed by the owner’s name rather than the parcel. The Property Lien Report and every tier above search both kinds. Because the search is a data compilation and not a certified title examination, the absence of a lien in a report is not a guarantee that none exists.

No. Every report here is uninsured. It is not title insurance, not a preliminary title report, and not a title examination performed by a licensed title company; no policy is issued and no coverage attaches. These reports are a records research service for verifying ownership and screening a property. For a transaction that needs insured title, a licensed title company issues the preliminary report and the policy, and a licensed California attorney can advise on a specific situation.

Yes. California’s 58 counties are our core coverage and where most orders run same day, but the same platform reaches property records nationwide, so out-of-state reports can be run on request. Turnaround on out-of-state property depends on how the county indexes its records. Note that the registered Legal Document Assistant status is California-specific; out-of-state orders are records research only.

Yes. TruPoint is a Registered Legal Document Assistant, so the same office that runs your title can prepare the deed to remove a name, correct a name, or transfer the property — grant, quitclaim, interspousal, and trust transfer deeds, e-recorded across California. Once your report shows what needs to change, the deed work picks up from the same intake. A recorded lien is different: it is cleared when the debt is paid and the lienholder records a release or reconveyance, not by a deed.
