Another Terminology Tuesday is upon us! A TITLE SEARCH is an examination of public records, laws and court decision to disclose the current facts regarding ownership of real estate. It helps confirm the rightful owner to the property. Title searches are crucial before buying or selling real property, as they might unearth an issue that could hinder the transfer of the deed. A title and settlement company will conduct the search and identify any hidden debt attached to the property or a lien that might make their lender back out, while a seller might learn they don't even have the legal right to sell.

If your neighbor is selling their property, you may want to check with a local title company to learn about any easements that may exist that affect your property. This is a precautionary move to make sure all parties involved know every detail of the transaction.

Are you ready for Terminology Tuesday? Today we are going to talk about TITLE ---what the heck is it and why do we keeping talking about it? Well, we are a title and settlement service and it is what our team deals with everyday in our roles. A clean title is very important in real estate. In short, title is a legal term that refers to ownership of something. For example, a job title means your have ownership over your role and specific set of responsibilities. You can also think of the word “entitle,” where you have ownership or control over something. In real estate, that something is property. By holding a title to a home, you have legal rights, ownership control, and responsibility over that home. Titles can held by individuals or by two or more people, in the case of a married couple, for example. Titles can also be held by corporations, partnerships, organizations, and trusts where all parties would share these “title rights” of ownership and responsibility.
