Title Search, as it relates to Title Insurance within Real Estate and Real Estate Management, is the process of searching public records to determine the ownership of a property and any liens or other encumbrances that may affect its title. This search typically includes reviewing deeds, mortgages, and other relevant documents to ensure that the seller has the legal right to transfer ownership and that there are no outstanding debts or claims against the property. A thorough Title Search can help protect both buyers and lenders by identifying any potential issues with a property's title before a transaction is completed.
