First-time visitors will be startled to see a full-fledged city, complete with towering, gleaming buildings, rising from the fertile lands that stretch from the banks of the Illinois River. Peoria is the oldest civilized settlement in the state of Illinois. The city and county take their names from the Peorian Indians, one of the tribes who inhabited the Illinois River Valley. The name "Peoria" has been translated to mean "Prairie Fire that Wanders About". The Peoria area has continued to prosper and grow since its early beginnings. The natural riches that lured Indians and pioneers here contributed greatly to the later development of industry. Today the Peoria area is an industrial/agricultural community that takes pride in its historic past and progressive future.

Titles >Liens Against the Title
Occasionally homeowners who are trying to sell their home are surprised to learn that their title is encumbered by a lien. There are several types of liens; the most common are mechanic's or contractor's liens.
The lien (or debt) must be paid off in order to be cleared. If the owner prefers to challenge the lien, he can release it by posting a bond, pending adjudication. In some types of liens, a title search may disclose claims against the property by an ex-spouse or long-ago heir of a former owner. A simple "quitclaim" deed may be used in these cases. By signing the deed, the person involved signs over whatever rights he or she might have, without laying any claim to the property.
Most real estate transactions involve at least some minor unresolved issues on the part of either the buyer or the seller. This is where an experienced real estate agent can provide solutions to resolve the issues and conclude the sale.
