General Questions
What is a title search?
A title search is a comprehensive examination of public records to determine the legal ownership of a property and to identify any claims, liens, or encumbrances against it. The primary goal is to ensure the seller has the legal right to transfer ownership and that the buyer receives a clean, or "clear," title.
Why is a title search important for real estate transactions?
A title search is critical for protecting your investment. It uncovers potential issues such as outstanding mortgages, unpaid property taxes, judgments, or other liens that could jeopardize your ownership rights. By identifying these problems before closing, you can ensure they are resolved, preventing costly legal complications in the future.
