When looking to purchase real estate it is important to understand the various types of deeds that are used. A deed is the formal document which transfers ownership of real estate. There are three common types of deeds and each have key differences. A general warranty deed provides the highest level of protection for a buyer. The seller (grantor) provides a comprehensive guarantee to the buyer (grantee) that they have clear title to the property and will defend the grantee against any title defects or claims that arise-including those which existed before the seller's ownership. A special warranty deed is more commonly used. This provides a more limited warranty as compared to a general warranty deed. With a special warranty deed the seller guarantees against defects which occurred during their period of ownership but makes no promises as to issues from before they owned the property. A quit claim deed provides the least protection to the buyer. In this type of deed, the seller simply conveys whatever interest they might have to the property without making any guarantees or warranties as to the title.
As always, Twin Tier Abstract is ready to answer any questions you may have about real estate transfers.

We are often asked about the Pennsylvania Clean & Green Law. This is a preferential tax assessment program that lowers property taxes on qualifying land. Rather than being taxed at its fair market value, enrolled land is assessed based on its current use as farmland, forest or open space. The program is intended to encourage preservation of these valuable lands by offering a significant tax incentive. However, landowners who remove land from the program or change the use of the property are subject to paying back the tax savings plus interest. To qualify a property must be at least 10 contiguous acres and devoted to either agricultural use, agricultural reserve, or forest use. A landowner who violates their Clean & Green agreement face "rollback taxes." The rollback tax is the difference between the taxes which were paid under the program and what would have been paid based on fair market value. The tax is calculated for the current year and the last 6 years, plus simple interest of 6% each year.

Buying a home is an exciting milestone- but what happens between the time your agreement of sale is signed until the day of your closing? That's where we come in. As your local abstract company, we work behind the scenes to ensure that your real estate transaction is a success.
Our main job is to perform a thorough and accurate title search. This involves an in-depth review of public records, including deeds, mortgages, wills and court documents, to uncover the property's legal history. We look out for anything which might jeopardize your future ownership, such as liens, undisclosed easements, tax claims, and ownership disputes.
You might think that a clean title is a given. However, hidden claims and errors do happen. The work of a meticulous abstractor provides you with peace of mind and protection for your investment. For most real estate transactions, our title search comes back clean. But in the rare instance that an issue arises, you will be glad you had the experience of Twin Tier Abstract LLC handling it for you.

We are often asked what is title insurance and why do I need it-
Simply put title insurance protects the insured from financial loss relating to defects in the title to the real estate. Unlike unpaid property taxes or liens, these defects might exist before the purchase of the property and may not always be obvious through an ordinary title search. Title insurance protects against potential claims related to past ownership issues.

If you have questions about title insurance, feel free to reach out!
