What does an abstract of title accomplish?

That provides for a specified rent increase at set future dates
Investing profits of the property on behalf of the client
Gives a history of the title, including recorded encumbrances against the property
Suspending all real estate activities

The correct answer is: Gives a history of the title, including recorded encumbrances against the property

The correct answer highlights the purpose of an abstract of title, which is to provide a comprehensive history of the ownership of a property. This document chronicles the chain of title, detailing all recorded encumbrances, such as liens, mortgages, easements, and other legal claims affecting the property. By presenting this information, the abstract of title serves as an important tool for potential buyers, lenders, and real estate professionals when assessing the marketability and legal standing of a property. In contrast, the other options do not pertain to the function of an abstract of title. The first option refers to rental agreements, specifically how rent can be structured over time, which is unrelated to title abstracts. The second option discusses investment activities, which also do not relate to title history or documentation. The last option involves halting real estate activities, which is entirely outside the realm of what an abstract of title serves to accomplish.
