What is Title Search & Verification?

Title Search & Verification is the process of scanning property records to verify legal ownership as well as to determine that there are no defects, disputes, or encumbrances. This involves an examination of past transfers of ownership, mortgages, court actions, inheritance claims, and government notices.

Basically, it’s the legal health check up of your property before you sell, buy, or invest.
