Why Do You Need a Title Search?

A title search is essential in a real estate transaction for several reasons:

  1. Verify Ownership : It confirms that the seller has the legal right to sell the property and that there are no competing claims to ownership.
  2. Uncover Liens and Encumbrances : It identifies any outstanding liens, mortgages, or other encumbrances that could affect the property's title or the buyer's ability to obtain clear ownership.
  3. Detect Title Defects : It helps to identify potential issues with the property's title, such as errors in public records, boundary disputes, or undisclosed heirs, which could cloud the ownership rights.
  4. Protect Buyer and Lender : By uncovering potential title issues early, a title search helps buyers and lenders avoid costly legal disputes and financial losses down the line.

What is a Property Title Search?

A property title search is a process of examining public records to determine the history and legal status of ownership of a specific piece of real estate. It involves researching various documents, including deeds, mortgages, tax records, court records, and other relevant documents, to verify the current owner's legal right to sell the property and to identify any potential issues or encumbrances affecting the property's title.

Common Title Issues to Be Aware Of

  1. Liens : These are legal claims against the property, often for unpaid debts, taxes, or judgments. They can affect the property's marketability and the buyer's ability to obtain clear title.
  2. Encumbrances : These are restrictions or limitations on the property's use, such as easements, restrictive covenants, or zoning regulations. They may impact the buyer's intended use of the property.
  3. Title Defects : These are issues that affect the validity or enforceability of the property's title, such as forged deeds, undisclosed heirs, or missing signatures on important documents.
  4. Boundary Disputes : Disagreements over property lines or boundaries with neighboring properties can lead to legal disputes and affect the property's value and marketability.
  5. Unpaid Taxes or Assessments : Outstanding property taxes, special assessments, or homeowner association dues can create liens against the property and affect the buyer's ability to obtain clear title.
  6. Missing Heirs or Probate Issues : If the property owner has passed away, unresolved probate issues or disputes among heirs can cloud the property's title and complicate the transfer of ownership.
