Title Verification

Why is Title Verification Important?

1. Ensure Legal Ownership Title verification confirms that the seller legally owns the property and has the right to sell it. It also checks that there are no claims or challenges from other parties regarding ownership.
2. Uncover Liens and Encumbrances A property may have liens or encumbrances due to unpaid debts, taxes, or legal obligations. Title verification helps identify these issues, allowing you to address them before proceeding with the transaction.
3. Prevent Fraud Title verification ensures that the transaction is not a fraudulent attempt to sell property without the legal right. It confirms the authenticity of ownership documents and protects against fraudulent transfers.
4. Clear and Marketable Title For a property to be legally transferred, it must have a clear and marketable title, meaning it is free from legal defects or claims. Title verification ensures that the property is free from unresolved legal issues, making the transfer process smoother.
5. Protect Future Interests By verifying the title, buyers can be assured that no hidden legal disputes or claims will arise after the transaction. This helps safeguard their long-term interest in the property.

Our Title Verification Process

1. Title Search and Examination We perform a comprehensive title search by examining records, including deeds, tax documents, and court records, to verify ownership and identify any liens, mortgages, or legal disputes related to the property.
2. Review of Legal Documents We assess all legal documents associated with the property, such as sale deeds, agreements, and title deeds, ensuring they are authentic and free from errors. This helps prevent complications during the transfer process.
3. Identification of Encumbrances Our team identifies any outstanding mortgages, unpaid taxes, or encumbrances attached to the property. We help you understand how these may impact the transfer and guide you in resolving them.
4. Verification of Chain of Ownership We verify the complete chain of ownership, ensuring that the current owner legally obtained the property and that there are no gaps or disputes in its history.
5. Title Report Preparation After completing the title search and examination, we prepare a detailed title report that outlines the findings, including any potential risks or issues with the property title. This report helps you make informed decisions.
6. Clearing Title Defects If any title defects are identified, we work with you to clear them before the property is transferred. This may involve negotiating with the relevant parties or taking legal steps to resolve issues.
