Questions
What does a HeritageDeed search in Staten Island not cover?
The Clerk's records start at different dates for different lots. Instruments recorded before that may need an in-person search, and the report shows the earliest date indexed for the lot.
Is this title insurance?
No. It is a search of the public record for one Staten Island property. A lender closing a loan will still require a title insurance commitment from a licensed insurer.
