Abstracting
NOTICE PURSUANT TO MINNESOTA STAT.§386.375, Subd.3 (1987)
IMPORTANT INFORMATION ABOUT YOUR ABSTRACT OF TITLE
An abstract of title is a summary of the history of ownership of a parcel of land. An abstract of title shows the purchases and sales, mortgages, judgments and other liens or rights against the property as recorded with the county. It reflects the records of the county through the date shown on the certificate. An abstract may be a necessary part of the sale, financing or refinancing of your land. You can replace a lost or damaged abstract, but it may cost you hundreds or even thousands of dollars depending upon the history ownership. You as the owner of the property, are entitled by law to possession of the abstract. You should store it with the same care you use for other valuable documents. You may wish to store it in a secure facility such as a safe deposit box or the Wilkin County Recorders office stores Wilkin County Abstracts at no cost. If an abstract company or other party presently has your abstract, they must offer to return it to you before charging any fees for storage.
The Wilkin County Recorder's office offers abstracting services and Track Searches.
