Name Searches (Individuals / Entities)
A Name Search is a search of the Nassau County Clerk's records and NYS Department of State databases run against the names of specific individuals or entities, without reference to a specific property. It uncovers judgments, liens, federal tax liens, county UCC filings, NYS tax warrants, and NYS child support warrants filed against the named parties.
Name Searches are commonly ordered to vet the parties to a transaction, to identify personal encumbrances that may not appear in a standard property search, and to satisfy lender underwriting requirements calling for a separate name-based search of the buyer, seller, or borrower.
Each name is searched separately. Results are delivered as a professionally prepared report in PDF format, identifying all encumbrances found by type, docket number, and amount where available.
