Title & Settlement Services Across New Jersey
A Title Partner for the Whole Garden State
We're attorney-owned and led by Stephan Axelrod, Esq., with a team that brings more than 100 years of combined title experience. New Jersey is an addition to our long-standing Pennsylvania practice, not a replacement — the same people and the same standards, now available on both sides of the river.
Full-Service Title & Settlement, Statewide
We handle every stage of the closing for buyers, sellers, realtors, and lenders across New Jersey:
- Title searches and title insurance
- Real estate settlement and closing services
- Lien and judgment searches, and resolution of encumbrances that can stall a sale
- Municipal lien and open-permit searches
- Deed preparation and recording
- Loan closings and refinance closings
- Inheritance-tax escrows and estate / inherited-property transfers
- Short-term-rental (STR) compliance support
Attorney-Owned, Built for the Complex Deals
Plenty of title companies can handle a clean, standard closing. What sets AC Abstract apart is what happens when a deal isn't clean — a lien nobody expected, an estate that complicates the chain of title, a judgment that has to be cleared before anyone can close.
Because we're attorney-owned, we bring real legal depth to those situations instead of referring them out. Our New Jersey title work is underwritten by First American Title Insurance Company, one of the nation's largest and most established title underwriters, giving your transaction the backing of a top-tier insurer.
