KCS has been a leading abstractor and searching organization for the last half-century. From its humble beginnings as a husband-and-wife team to its current position as a technology-forward leader in the industry, we continue to move forward with customer service as its primary goal. As of late, the leadership at KCS has developed and applied processes to some of today’s most complex challenges which has increased the efficiency and delivery of our work to clients and customers alike. At KCS, we are always asking “is there a better way?” Knowing what to ask upfront saves everyone time and energy. That is time and energy we rededicate to our service.

"It's What We Do"

    Based out of the Mohawk Valley, the KCS team knows what to look for, what questions need answering, and how to get you those answers.  The company culture focuses on working together to deliver superior service. 

   When you hire for talent and experience, a collaborative team naturally comes together.  No child dreams of sifting through records at the County Clerk’s office, but great things can happen when the right people stumble upon this profession. The value we place on our employees and community truly makes this organization exceptional.

Tax Searching

KCS has a team dedicated to providing accurate and up-to-date tax information. Supplying actual data on exceptions, delinquencies, and assessments.
Conducting an exhaustive search of public records ensures you can verify the title's legitimacy, and therefore its ownership is not in question at the time of transfer. 

Abstracting

We can build on an existing abstract to update those records or provide documents to show the full history of the parcel noting all conveyances and encumbrances affecting the property. Every acre has a story. 
Judgment liens, pending lawsuits, surrogate court records, and bankruptcy filings must be carefully reviewed to understand what sort of impact they have on the title holder's right to use and possess the property.
