Kentucky title abstracts are reports created by a professional title abstractor. A title abstract is not available from public county records, and it is not available electronically. Depending on the report type, it can list open and closed deeds, mortgages, and encumbrances such as judgments, liens, and UCCs.


An official title abstract must be prepared by a professional title researcher. Creating the title report requires in-depth knowledge of title documents and the instrument recording processes. A title report is a recital of the records found for a property located in Kentucky counties' title records, with obvious presumptions made such as mortgage refinances and lien releases. A title abstract is not legal advice, or opinion of title and ownership, which can only be provided by a qualified attorney.

The property title search abstractor begins researching county records index of subject property to retrieve the related documents. Depending upon the Kentucky county, multiple records rooms and databases may be visited. The land title documents are collected from various books, volumes, and databases where instruments are recorded through the years on the parcel.


Documents are then reviewed by the certified abstractor to determine which items pertain to the real property. Legal and vesting are compared on each document. Mortgages, judgement, liens are cross-referenced for releases and assignments.


Pertinent documents are compiled, and the property title abstract report is created for the Kentucky land parcel. The abstract contains a summary listing of all the recorded liens, mortgages, and deeds which were located. Lien and mortgage amounts are typically provided. Copies of all open (and sometimes closed) referenced documents within the search period are attached.

You can complete a Kentucky title search yourself for free on any property in Kentucky, but will pay for any copies obtained from the counties records office. Document copies typically run $1.00 to $2.00 per page. Even if you are familiar with how title searches are accomplished, it is recommended that you hire a certified title abstractor for a variety of reasons. If you chose to purchase a title search, the results are typically abstracted into a title report. Kentucky title search costs vary on the type of search you need. Generally speaking, title searches will cost as little as $150.00, but may also exceed $1,000.00 or more. It will mostly depend on the extent of your search requirements and objectives.
