Lien Search & Release
Uncover any encumbrances on an aircraft's title before you buy, sell, or re-register - protecting your investment from day one.
What’s Included
FAA Aircraft Registry Search
We conduct a thorough search of the FAA Aircraft Registry records to identify any recorded liens, security agreements, or encumbrances associated with the aircraft's N-number and serial number.
Title History Review
We review the aircraft's full title chain to verify ownership history, spot any gaps in the record, and confirm there are no competing ownership claims.
Lien Release Coordination
If a lien is found, we work with the lienholder and relevant parties to obtain and properly record the lien release with the FAA before your transaction proceeds.
Written Search Report
You receive a clear summary of our findings - what was found, what was released, and the current status of the aircraft's title - suitable for use in your purchase or financing process.
Pre-Transaction Clearance
Ideal for buyers, sellers, and lenders - we confirm the aircraft's title is clear and ready for transfer or re-registration before any closing takes place.
International Registry Check
For applicable aircraft, we also check the International Registry for any recorded international interests that may affect the transaction.
Our Process
Provide Aircraft Details
Share the aircraft's N-number, make, model, and serial number. We use these to pull the complete FAA Registry record for the aircraft.
Registry Search
We conduct a comprehensive search of FAA Aircraft Registry records, reviewing all filed documents for recorded liens, security interests, and encumbrances.
Findings Report
We provide a clear written summary of search results. If liens are found, we outline what they are and coordinate with the appropriate parties to arrange releases.
Clear & Proceed
Once all encumbrances are resolved and releases are properly recorded, your aircraft title is clear - ready for transfer, registration, or financing.
