Title Services
Title Searches
A title search is the process of retrieving and reviewing the history of a piece of property to determine relevant interests and encumbrances that affect the property. At a minimum, a search of the pervious 40 years is done to ensure that the person selling the property has good and marketable title to the property. If you buy one without it, you are taking a huge risk.
Real Estate Documentation Preparation
Real estate transactions MUST be in writing according to Ohio law. We prepare thousands of real estate documents every year. The forms required are very specific. We are the people to help you complete those documents. Real estate purchase and sale agreements must be in writing to be enforceable in Ohio.
Title Insurance
We offer title insurance to protect buyers from any unforeseen issues with the title. Our policies cover specified defects in the title and provide peace of mind to our clients.
Closing Services
We handle all aspects of the closing process, including document handling, execution, notarization and escrow documents. Our team fosters a smooth and stress-free closing experience. Other legal documents, deeds, leases, easements, liens, and mineral reservation (with some minor exceptions) cannot be prepared by a non-attorney. At our agency, Michael E. Grove, Attorney at Law, prepares these documents. He has 40 years of experience in these matters.
