Abstract of Title

Have you been researching vessels for a potential purchase? Are you looking for verified information from a source you can trust? Those are just some of the reasons that we offer an Abstract of Title form. With this, you will be able to find out just about everything you may need to know about a vessel. This can be invaluable before you purchase a vessel or even before you spend time researching it. We have designed a process to make obtaining this form and others easier than ever. 

What This Abstract of Title Does 

With this abstract, you will essentially have the vessel’s entire history up to that point. Specifically, you will have the vessel’s history since it has been registered with the United States Coast Guard. An Abstract tends to include when and where the vessel was manufactured, its true age, if there were any liens and/or mortgages against the vessel, and more. Perhaps most importantly, this form will contain whether or not there are any liens and/or mortgages against the vessel right now, ones that, to date, have not yet been satisfied. 

How it Can Help 

For many, this form is one more way to learn about a vessel they are in the process of considering purchasing. With this form, you can ensure that you make the right decision for your needs. To use an example, if you are researching a particular vessel, perhaps the vessel owner tells you the vessel is three years old, has been paid off entirely, and so forth. Then, after obtaining the Abstract, you learn that the vessel is actually seven years old and has an outstanding lien against it. That is perhaps an extreme example, but it does show just how beneficial this Abstract can be. 

The Information You Need About a Vessel 

As with all of our forms, we have made the application for this Abstract fully responsive. That means that you can apply for this form on any device, be it your laptop, desktop, phone, tablet, or anything else, so long as you are connected to the internet at the time. You can be at home, at work, on the couch, at the pier, on your vessel, or anywhere else while you fill out this form. Should you need it that much faster, rush processing options are available as well. To see the other forms we offer, we invite you to check out the rest of our site.
