Questions
What does a HeritageDeed search in Cleveland not cover?
Where a document cannot be tied to the property by its legal description or street address, it is marked as linked by the owner's name only.
Is this title insurance?
No. It is a search of the public record for one Cleveland property. A lender closing a loan will still require a title insurance commitment from a licensed insurer.
