==Overview==

In Pennsylvania, a standard full search is '''sixty (60) years minimum''' to a deed for value. It is common practice, however, to reduce the search period depending on circumstances.

==Sources==

The only mandate of state law related to title searching is that a search must be “reasonable”. [https://codes.findlaw.com/pa/title-40-ps-insurance/pa-st-sect-40-910-7.html 40 P.S. 910-7]. The 60-year standard is set by custom.

 ==Title Plants==
 Title plants are not required in Pennsylvania.  Searches are done directly from records found in the county courthouses, although many offices in each county may have records available on-line as well.  Privately owned title plants exist in larger population counties, but there is no requirement to use them.
