Introduction:
Title companies play a vital role in securing past support owed to the children of Ventura County. Annually, our department collects over $53 million on behalf of children and families in Ventura County. Nearly $2 million of these funds came from liens.

Title companies have 5 principal responsibilities:

• Research the County Recorder's Office to determine if there is a lien.
• Notify our office of the pending sale.
• Send our office a request for Satisfaction of Judgment. Please include a copy of the filed abstract.
• Comply with the demand letter.
• File the satisfaction with the Recorder's Office once the funds have been sent to the Department of Child Support Services.

Title company benefits:
When your company complies with the recording guidelines, you are helping your business and the community in many ways.

• You help kids!
• You reduce fraud and errors.
• You save taxpayers' money.
• You contribute to a stable workforce.
