Where can I go to get my Abstract updated?

The Faribault County Recorder’s Office does not provide abstracting services. You may contact an independent abstract company for abstracting services and fees.

An abstract is an abbreviated history of all documents of record affecting the property. They are usually made up by an abstractor who is a person or company trained and licensed in such work, and which has been formed for the express purpose of drafting abstracts from in and out of courthouse records. The buyer should never be satisfied with an abstract which appears to show title in the seller, but should always have a competent attorney give a written opinion on the condition of title. A buyer is proceeding at their own peril if they do not have the title examined carefully by a competent lawyer.
