Decoding the Contents of an Abstract of Title

Pertinent transfers of ownership, if any, are illuminated for your scrutiny. Moreover, the framework within which the proprietors choose to embrace their ownership stake is divulged – a detail not commonly encountered within a Certificate of Documentation. The lineage of ownership, meticulously documented for as long as the vessel was documented, is included.
The Truth About Liens/Encumbrances
The Abstract will also tell you whether or not there were any liens or other encumbrances against the vessel. Moreover, they’ll tell you if there are any liens or other encumbrances against the vessel. That way, you can know everything there is to know about the vessel before buying it.
