Title services explained,
in plain English
We protect property buyers, sellers, and lenders from ownership disputes and ensure every transaction closes correctly.
We research the property's history and insure against claims from previous owners, unknown heirs, liens, or recording errors.
All funds are held in secure, audited accounts until every condition is met. Then we distribute to the right parties.
From document preparation to signing, recording, and funding—we manage every detail to ensure a smooth closing.

Attorneys & Legal Professionals
Thorough title searches and documentation that meet the highest legal standards.
Property ownership
isn't always clear-cut
Real estate has a long paper trail. Deeds pass through many hands. Mortgages are filed. Liens are recorded. And sometimes, mistakes happen or information is hidden.
Title insurance protects you if something from the past threatens your ownership. Unlike other insurance that covers future events, title insurance covers problems that already exist—but aren't discovered until later.
Recording Errors
Mistakes in public records—wrong names, missing signatures, clerical errors—can cloud ownership.
Unknown Heirs
Previous owners may have heirs who weren't properly notified and could claim ownership rights.
Hidden Liens
Unpaid taxes, contractor liens, or judgments against previous owners can become your problem.
Legal Disputes
Forged documents, fraudulent sellers, or boundary disputes can threaten your ownership.

Since 1990
Cowling Title Company was founded in 1990 in Ashdown, Arkansas by the late Ken Cowling, who served as President and CEO. What began as a single office grew into multiple locations across Arkansas, built on a reputation for professionalism, reliability, and timely service.
Following Ken Cowling's passing in 2020, his nephews, Eric and Scott Cowling, assumed ownership and leadership of the company. They continue his legacy by upholding the same standards of integrity, attention to detail, and commitment to customer care that have defined Cowling Title for more than three decades.
At Cowling Title, taking care of our customers is at the heart of everything we do. We value the trust placed in us and are committed to delivering the dependable service our clients expect.
