A thorough review of a foreclosure proceeding, which includes an abbreviated summary of all pleadings, with particular emphasis in identifying the defendants (mortgagors/debtors, creditors, other lienholders), and providing notation on irregularities found. Copies of all pertinent documents (Complaint, Service, Final Judgment) are included with the report. Chancery Abstracts are available for Residential/Commercial Mortgage Foreclosures, In Rem/In Personam Tax Foreclosures, Adverse/Peaceable Possession, Condemnation, Partitions, Condominium Lien Foreclosures and cases resulting in executions sales. The format of our abstracts is easy to read and includes copies of pertinent pleadings at no additional cost. The cost of our Chancery Abstract is a set fee of $165.00.

A Post Judgment Certificate of Regularity is essentially a Short Form Abstract. The review of the foreclosure is as extensive as that of the full Chancery Abstract but the abbreviated format provides the names of all defendants included in the final judgment, a listing of all the documents filed in the case and copies of pertinent pleadings. This is an alternative to the more lengthy format for those who do not require the full description of each of the filings in any given foreclosure case. The cost of the Post Judgment Certificate of Regularity is $165.00.
