Real Estate and Property Title Search

Grand Traverse Leelanau Title Plant Title Search LogoWhat is a Title Plant?
A real estate and property title plant is where they do title searches for your Leelanau property. They have the tract books and deed records for Leelanau County and Grand Traverse County.

So if you wanted to do a Leelanau title search you would call GTL Title Plant. They do Leelanau property title searches by the property's Legal Description and by Grantor or Grantee.

What is the difference between doing a title search with GTL Title Plant or through the Leelanau Court House? Well, the main difference is the GTL Title Plant has the complete records to do a thorough search for you. The Leelanau County Register of Deeds records their information by name. If your name changes, you in essence lose the "chain of title". For example, let's say you experience a divorce and remarry and your last name changes from "Smith" to "Jones". You will lose the name continuity because the Leelanau County Records record deeds by name.

The GTL Title Plant has the maps to find parcels of land. They have the information about a lot in a subdivision by its metes and bounds. They have the exact records provided by a surveyor which includes the Legal Description for Leelanau County property or your Grand Traverse County property.

The GTL Title Plant conducts searches for a deed and land titles by legal description and by the Tax Roll number.

The other disadvantage of using the Leelanau County Court House records is you have to know who owns the Leelanau property before you can do a search for land title information.

The GTL Title Plant can search for Leelanau property by its Legal Description and Tax Number without having to know who owns the Leelanau property - and by doing your property title searches this way your information is accurate because it is done correctly. You don't have to worry about losing name continuity.

The GTL Title Plant works with banks, realtors, title agents, surveyors, attorneys and private individuals.

A great gift idea for the "person who has everything" is having GTL Title Plant prepare a "History of the Leelanau Property You Own". This historical keepsake is very popular with long-time Leelanau cottage and summer home owners and for families who have been a part of the history of Leelanau County.

The "History of the Leelanau Property You Own" is a unique document that your family will always cherish. The GTL Title Plant will provide you with the entire history of your Leelanau Land - all the way back to the original U.S. Land Patents from when the County was created in 1850s. Back then, individuals applied for tracts of land and the then sitting President signed the Land Patent and gave this land patent to the individual.

The GTL Title Plant tracts and paper documents go all the way back to these original land patents up to the present day. Many are handwritten from the original documents as registered with Leelanau County.

If you've ever wondered who really knows the "Land of Leelanau", well the GTL Title Plant is the company that truly knows all the "Land of Leelanau".
