Which document would typically be required to conduct a title search?

Property tax receipts
Deed of Trust
Title abstract
Survey plan

The correct answer is: Title abstract

A title abstract is essential for conducting a title search because it provides a comprehensive summary of the historical ownership of a property. This document outlines key details such as previous owners, any encumbrances, liens, or claims against the property, and the chain of title. It acts as a condensed version of the property's title history and is critical for identifying any potential issues that may affect the ownership of the property. The other choices, while relevant in specific contexts, do not serve the primary function of conducting a title search. Property tax receipts can show whether taxes have been paid but do not provide information about title history. A deed of trust is a security instrument related to a loan and does not summarize ownership history. A survey plan provides details about property boundaries and dimensions but does not contain information about ownership or title claims.
