Look to Your Titles!

1T may not be generally known that the title to
a large portion cf the Rial Estate IN Wood
County Is defective but such is the fact. These
defects arise from misdescriptinn of the prop-
erty, informal execution AMI acknow gment
Of conveyanccs, unrecorded deeds. tax sales and
titles, judgment liens, Irregularities in aes under
execution, mortgages, &c.
Hundreds Of mortgages and other disturbances
upon lands remain uncancelled on the records,
although the debts they were given to secure, have
probably been paid. Thousands of tax sales have
been made, incumbering lands and lots, many Of
which have been redeemed but not cancelled, but
large number still exist as valid liens on the prop
erty sold. Over 800 OF the deeds on our county
records are either erroneously executed, or
wrongly recordcd-most of the errors undoubtedly
occur IN the making of the deeds, but many in the
recording Of them.
In view OF these facts we are preparing, and
have nearly completed, at great expense and inn
| mense labor, complete abstract Of the title to
every tract OF land and town lot in the county
giving the original entries and purchases from tie
State and United States, date Of the deeds, kind
OF conveyance, consideration, full description Of
| the land, where deed executed, date Of record
| book and page where recorded, number Of wit.
nesses, number of seals, amount of revenue stamp
&c.
| So complete will these Abstracts be, that Il
every book in the Recorder Office destroyed
an accurate description of every instrument re.
corded there, could be procured from our Office.
With these facilities we are prepared, oH the
shortest notice. to give all necessary infOrma ton
and written abstracts Of tlle at reasonable prices
| to all who may desire the same.
With these Abstracts before us, we also hav,
facilities for preparing conveyances Of every de
| scription, unequalled by any other Office in th,
county, and which will be made out by us at usua
rates. We will give special attention 10 remedyinI
| defects in titles, removing membranes, procuring
lost deeds, getting original patent or copies Of
same, and perfecting titles generally.
Every owner Of Real Estate should know the
full history OF his title to same and that il is cor
rectly placed on the record; and every pruden
man will refuse to buy any lands or lots withou
first being fully satisfied that the title to same |,
perfect, clear and uuimcumbered and these factl
can be ascertained from us at small expense.
Our charges will be as follows;
| For an examination of the title tn lot or trac
| OF land, with verbal opinion same, from 81 Il
| IS, according to value and number Of transfers.
For a full abstract Of the title, with writer
opinion on same, 81 and over, according to numbe
Of convcyances Of the land, aud labor in making
out same.
reasonable deduction will be made to appl
cants, for chain Of title to two or more ira cts anC
also to attorneys and agents who make frequen
business calls upon us.
