Title Examining

Title examining is the process of reviewing and verifying the legal ownership and history of a property before completing a real estate transaction. It involves checking public records to ensure the seller has clear ownership, no outstanding liens or claims, and the property's title is free of issues. This helps buyers and lenders confirm that they will acquire a legitimate, unencumbered interest in the property. Essentially, title examining ensures the property's title is valid, secure, and ready for transfer, reducing the risk of future ownership disputes or legal problems.
