The Company requires a search and examination for judgments and tax liens against __________________.
Comment: If the initial title search does not include a general lien search against the named persons, you must require such a separate search.

The Company requires the name of the proposed purchasers in order to secure a search for any applicable judgment, tax, and other statutory liens and matters. The Company may then make additional exceptions and requirements.
Comment: It is appropriate to do a search under the buyer’s name since numerous matters including tax liens and judgment liens may be relevant. Although a federal tax lien or judgment lien against the buyer generally is subordinate to a purchase money mortgage, this is not true in all states and is not true of United States judgments. If the tax lien or judgment lien is subordinate, it should be shown in Schedule B-Part II.

The following judgment(s) or federal tax lien(s) must be satisfied of record:
Comment: Judgment liens are effective for different times in different states; however, U.S. judgments are effective for at least 20 years and can be refiled. Federal tax liens are effective 10 years and 30 days from assessment and can be refiled.

The Company requires for its review (i) satisfactory evidence that there has been no sale of the land pursuant to the writ, and (ii) a release or other satisfaction of the writ. At that time, the Company may make additional requirements or exceptions.
Comment: If a writ of attachment is filed, you must verify that no sale has occurred and you must require a release.

A writ of execution to enforce said judgment was recorded ____________. The Company requires for its review satisfactory evidence that no sale has occurred and a release of the writ.
Comment: Execution sales are extrahazardous and should not be insured unless you secure the Company’s approval.
