Questions
What does a HeritageDeed search in Redding not cover?
The index is by name: documents other than the purchase loans are tied to the property by the owner's name and are marked for verification.
Is this title insurance?
No. It is a search of the public record for one Redding property. A lender closing a loan will still require a title insurance commitment from a licensed insurer.
