Georgia closing guide
Georgia title search, explained
A Georgia title search reviews public real-estate records to confirm ownership, locate liens, identify chain issues, and prepare the closing attorney for curative review before a deed is recorded.
What the search usually covers
For straightforward residential files, the core search is chain of title, security deeds, cancellations, tax liens, judgments, UCC fixture filings, easements, and obvious recording defects. The attorney still decides what matters for the closing and title opinion.
Where Georgia records come from
Georgia closing teams commonly rely on GSCCCA indexes, county property records, tax data, court records, and recorded instrument images. Index data can be incomplete, so book/page citations and source-document review matter.
How Cliros fits
Cliros runs the first-pass public-record search, assembles source citations and draft closing documents, and gives the attorney a review packet. It is not a title opinion or substitute for legal judgment.

Who performs a Georgia title search?
Usually an abstractor, paralegal, title professional, or closing attorney's office performs the first-pass search. The attorney is responsible for legal review and any opinion.
Is a Georgia title search the same as title insurance?
No. A search gathers and organizes record evidence. Title insurance is an underwriting product issued by an insurer under its own requirements.
