O&E Report — Current Owner Search
The O&E Report, or Owner and Encumbrance Report, is the most widely used title product for Alabama properties. It covers up to 30 years of title history sourced directly from the county Probate Court, which serves as the official recording authority for deeds, mortgages, and encumbrances in every Alabama county.
The report confirms who currently holds title, lists all open mortgages and lien filings, flags recorded judgments, and notes easements or use restrictions on record. Alabama routes everything through the probate court, so access to that record system is the whole ballgame for an accurate search. Clean, direct-to-source data at $35.
2 Owner Search
The 2 Owner Search covers property ownership through the two most recent title holders. That added depth matters more than most buyers expect. In Alabama, judgment liens attach to real property at the county level the moment they are filed, and those liens can survive a transfer if they were never formally released. A prior owner’s financial baggage can become your legal problem.
The 2 Owner Search reviews recorded deeds, open and released mortgages, judgments, and liens across both ownership periods, giving investors and professionals the information they need before committing to a deal.

Full Title Search
The Full Title Search examines Alabama property records spanning 30 or more years. Institutional lenders require this depth, and for good reason. Alabama’s probate court recording system can hold decades of complexity: missed releases, undisclosed heirs, deed transfers that were executed informally and recorded inconsistently.
A full search traces every ownership transfer, reviews all encumbrances across the complete search period, and confirms the legal description against recorded instruments. For estate settlements, commercial acquisitions, and long-held family properties, a full search removes the risk of discovering a title defect after closing.

FAQs
Online Property Title Search in Alabama
Alabama records property documents through the county Probate Court, not a separate recorder’s office. Each of the state’s 67 counties maintains its own probate court records. Deeds, mortgages, and recorded liens all live there. Getting the records right means going directly to the probate court for the specific county where the property is located.
Yes, and it happens more often than buyers anticipate. Certain judgment liens and tax liens attach to real property in Alabama and survive an ownership transfer if they were never properly released. A title search identifies any open liens from prior ownership periods before they become a post-purchase obligation.
Yes. Cash transactions have no lender requiring a title review, which means there is nothing standing between you and an undiscovered lien or ownership defect except your own due diligence. Cash buyers who skip the title search take on full exposure to any recorded claims tied to the property.
Title Search Direct delivers reports within 3 to 5 business days for most Alabama counties. Rural counties with limited digital record access, older properties with long ownership histories, or parcels that require abstractor coordination may take additional time.
A complete Alabama title search draws from the county Probate Court for deeds, mortgages, and recorded liens; the county Tax Assessor for ownership and assessed value; the Tax Collector for payment status; and civil court records for judgment filings that may attach to the property.
A title search is the research process: reviewing public records to identify current ownership and any recorded issues. Title insurance is a policy that protects against losses from defects not found in that search. Title Search Direct handles the research. Title insurance is a separate product issued by licensed insurers and closing attorneys.
