their tite. If there are any defects
in their title they will be brought to
light and may be remedied. It is
well for those owning property to
have an abstract made even where
there is no thought of selling. Should
any defect be found in the title it
may be remedied while all parties are
living and can be found, and thus
avoid the expense of going into
court, and if the property is sold in
future years, there will be no trouble
in making good title.
